Several white men who witnessed the accident placed the injured boy in another car and rushed him-rto the of fice of a local physician. Young Hol land was rendered unconscious and remained in that state for some time, but aside from a broken thumb and a strained back he was uninjured. . The accident, it is said, occurred^ when Holland tried to dodge a hog on the highway, causing him to )o^ control of the car, which turned com pletely over and pinned the driver be neath the machine!.
