In- stead of the other, car going on across the street in front of him it started to do a loop-the-loop and wound up by running, into his front end turning his car over and pinning him underneath it. He had a bone in his left leg broken, his back in- jured and was otherwise shaken up. The cause of the accident was due to a steering knuckle bn the,other car breaking. Doctors soon fixed.
