ACaOENT NEAR BUSHKHX CENTER
That James Calvin Renner, 23, of Hen Argyl R. D 1, was thrown out of his light roadster when it sideswiped enother vehicle is the theory ad¬ vanced by Motir Police after ques¬ tioning Renner and his companion. Frederick Kutzler. Wind Oap, as the ciuse of a mysterious accident on the Nabareth-Bushkill Center high¬ way Saturday night.
Renner was found lying injured i near the smashed car. and was taken I by a passing motorist to Dr. J. A. Fraunfelder. who gave him first aid and ordered him sent to the Easton Hispltal. There he is reported to have suffered possible internal in¬ juries and possible fractured ribs.
Although Renner's condition pre- cli:ded and detailed qucstianing, hos¬ pital authorities learned that he be¬ lieved his car had been struck by another vehicle.
Kutzler, who was treated by Dr. R. H. Dreher, Wind Oap, for cuts of the head, told Motor Policy that Renner was driving the roadster which he also owned, at the time of the accident. i
Kutzler told Investigators that he could not remember what struck the ; car. that he shielded his face as the crash occurred.
