Injuries sustained by Alonzo W. Lines, 44 of RD2. Mahaffey when he was struck by an automobile on Route 322 at Hyde Shortly before midnight last night had not been fully ascertained late today at the Clearfield Hospital, where he is a patient.

Hospital attaches said that Mr. Lines is suffering from concussion of the brain and possible skull fracture, together with deep lacerations of the face and head. He had not recovered consciousness early this afternoon.

State Police who had not completed their investigation of the accident said it appeared that Mr. Lines was walking east on the right side of the highway and was not aware of the approach of a car driven by Frederick L. Brion RD 4, Clearfield, from behind. Mr. Brion did not see the pedestrian until within 20 or 25 feet of him due to the dark colored clothing the latter was wearing and also to the lights of a car which he met as he approched Mr. Lines.

Just after the westbound vehicle passed him, Mr. Brion saw the man and attempted to turn his car towards the middle of the highway to avoid striking him, but the wheels skidded on a strip of ice and the car swerved, the right side of the rear end striking Mr. Lines. The pedestrian fell, striking the ice.3910
