Lawrence Ackerman, age 12, was accidentally struck by an automobile driven by Arnold Schwall of Woodsfield last Tuesday afternoon.The accident occurred one mile east of Lewisville on the Lewisville Woodsfield road. Lawrence suffered a fractured skull and crushed chest when he struck the pavement.
Lawrence was coming toward Woodsfield with his little wagon. When he came to the driveway of a filling station, Mr. Schwall approached him from the rear and blew his horn. Instead of turning off the mainhighway into the driveway to let Mr. Schwall pass, Lawrence turned directly across the pavement in front of the car. It is believed that he thought Mr.Schwall wanted to drive into the driveway of the filling station and turned across the pavement to get out of the way.
Lawrence was removed to a Barnesville hospital where he died early Thursday morning.
