A Canton girl filed a $50,000 lawsuit against the driver of a car that ran her down at S. East Ave. and Gough St. Her father filed a companion suit for $15,000. The 11-year-old girl was walking across East when she was hit by the car on November 24, 1957. The impact knocked her unconscious, and she was placed in a full body cast. She went back to school on Feb. 3.
