The Conyers Times May 1, 1925
     As the result of the wrecking of a truck on the Atlanta-Covington highway 
last Thursday morning, LOYD HAYS has a broken leg and HERMAN LOYD was badly 
shaken up and internally injured, according to the Covington News.
     The accident happened directly opposite the home of C. M. GRIFFIN near the 
Sockwell Crossing, about half way between Covington and Almon.
     HERMAN LOYD, who was driving the Nu_Grape truck, says the steering gear 
went wrong and he lost control of his machine and it dashed into a telephone 
pole, turning turtle, throwing the truck and its contents on top of him and 
Loyd Hays.
     CHARLES BIGGERS, who drives the Chero-Cola truck, was enroute to Atlanta 
and was the first man to reach the wrecked car and helped rescue the 
unfortunate occupants.
     He placed the injured men in his truck and brought them back to Covington 
as quickly as possible for medical attention. The doctor decided the young 
man’s leg was broken in more than one place and he was taken to Atlanta in an 
ambulance to have the leg ex-rayed.
