As near as we can learn the accident was caused by Mr. Turner losing control of his car by slipping from the highway onto the wet shoulders. In attempting to get it back he swerved across the highway several times and an on-coming car crashed into the rear of the Turner car. Mrs. Turner was critically injured suffering a fractured pelvic bone, collar bone, five ribs and internal injuries. She is in the Loos hospital at Bay City, where all were taken after the accident. Mrs. Nensteil had some ribs fractured and bruises as did Mr. Nensteil and both were removed to their home Wednesday. Miss Gammel suffered a broken collar bone. Mr. Turner received some minor injuries. He expects to bring his niece home today, but Mrs. Turner will have to be in the hospital for some months.
