Doctor, Wife Are Injured In Smashup
An auto crash on Sanhican Drive last night injured Dr. Henry Linn Bassett, 79, of 70 South Main Street, Yardley, and his wife, Mary, 80.
Mrs. Bassett suffered a fracture of the left leg. She is in Mercer Hospital. Dr. Bassett escaped with face cuts.
The physician's car collided with a parked auto owned by Philip Vuksanovich, 30, of 140 Sanhican Drive.
Fire broke out in the badly damaged cars, which were mashed together in the crash.
Vuksanovich, hearing the noise of the crash, ran to the scene. He put out the flames with an extinguisher borrowed from a service station at Sanhican Drive and Mill Road opposite the Brookville Apartments.
Mrs. Bassett was removed from the auto unconscious. She and her husband were sent to the hospital in a police ambulance.
Dr. Bassett has practiced medicine at Yardley for almost a half century. As he lay upon the emergency room examining table under treatment by a young intern last night, Dr. Bassett's concern was for Mrs. Bassett.
"How is my wife? What's her pulse and blood pressure?", he asked.
Patrolman Robert Bradley said Dr. Bassett told him that he misjudged his distance in passing the parked auto. The physician was charged with careless driving.
