Frank Newton

1910 July. Accident. 'Mr. Frank Newton, the Brooklands record-breaker and son of the late Mr. W. Newton, of Crowmarsh Battle, has, we regret to state, met with a serious accident. Mr. Newton was on a visit to his relatives at Hook Norton, and on Sunday evening, shortly after eight o'clock, left the village to return to London. He was driving a large and powerful Napier car. At about 5.20 Mr. Newton was found lying on the roadside in an unconscious condition, on the road between Hook Norton and Wigginton turn. The motor car was turned completely over and was considerably damaged. Medical aid was at once summoned, and Mr. Newton was conveyed to his relatives' house. His injuries consist of broken ribs, and he is naturally suffering from shock. On recovering consciousness, Mr. New ton attributed the accident to having collided with a heap of stones on the side of the road. We are glad to hear that the unfortunate motorist is making a good recovery.'
