TTerrible Motor Smash

Terrific Impact

Former Residents of Chelmsford Seriously Injured

Two motor cards, both of which are said to have been proceeding at full speed, came into collision at London Colney, near St. Albans, on Friday night, with disastrous results. One of the cars belonged to Mr. E. Hildred Carlile, M.P. for Mid Herts, whose wife was motoring, and the other contained Mr. and Mrs. Barrett, of St. Peters Street, Canterbury. The cars had just passed through London Colney, and were nearing the river Colne, when they came into collision. The force of the impact ws so great that both cars were wrecked. All the occupants of both cars were thrown out and injured, the most serious case being that of Mrs. Barrett, who sustained grave injuries about the head and face. Mr. Barrett also had several ribs injured. Mr. Barrett was formerly manager of the cycle department at the establishment of Messrs. J. Brittain Pash and Co., Chelmsford, and both were well-known locally. They were detained in a hospital at. St. Albans. The Rev. Canon Lake, rectory of Chelmsford, paid a visit to them on Monday. Mr. Barrett was able to go home on Tuesday, and Mrs. Barrett has since joined him. Mr. Carlile, M.P. writes: Mrs. Carlile has suffered from slight shock, but is rapidly recovering; our driver was unhurt. I have ascertained, on inquiry at St. Albans Hospital, that neither Mr. nor Mrs. Barrett is seriously injured.
