THE TIDEWATER NEWS – 08-17-1945, P. 1
SEABOARD FLAGMAN HIT BY AUTO; THROWN UNDER MOVING TRAIN

    E.S. Jenkins, white flagman at the Seaboard’s Main Street crossing here, was 
most seriously injured Thursday morning by a cowardly hit and run driver, and is 
now in Raiford Memorial Hospital in a critical condition although it is 
considered somewhat more hopeful than when he was first admitted to the 
hospital, he having received five blood transfusions yesterday.

   Yesterday morning about 7 o’clock, Mr. Jenkins was flagging the crossing 
against the approaching through freight No. 82, en route to Portsmouth. Flagging 
an approaching car, the driver of the automobile not only failed to stop by his 
Mr. Jenkins and thru him against and under the train, darting across the track 
in front of the engine and getting away.

   Mr. Jenkins sustained a compound fracture of the left leg, fracture of the 
right hip, and a serious skull fracture. The driver of the car and its license 
number are unknown. Mr. Jenkins, whose home is in Littleton, N.C., has been 
flagman here for several years.

   Mr. Jenkins died this morning at about 11 o’clock.
