The accident occurred as members of the Allison family, including her parents, three brothers and uncle and Howard Campbell and Thomas Alcock were returning from the home of her grandfather, R. E. Allison, near Locust Hill. The truck had just started down the hill when a belt snapped in the rear axle. The driver endeavored to swerve the vehicle into a small embankment but in order to avoid crashing into an automobile was forced to direct the truck to the other side of the highway. The machine overturned, throwing the passengers, except the girl, clear of the wreckage. Besides her parents, the child leaves three brothers, Jack, Charles and Howard.
