Elderly Portland Woman Injured by Automobile Mrs. Armanda Strunk, 78, Is Seriously Hurt Mrs. Armanda Strunk, 78 years old, a widow, of Portland, was seriously injured at about 9.30 Friday night, when she was struck by or ran into the automobile operated by Isador Kaban, of Scranton, when she was crossing the road to her home on the highway to Slateford. She was taken to Portland hospital in the automobile of H.

J. Cristolo, of Philadelphia. Dr. Howard Ott found she has a fractured right ankle, body bruises and lacerations of one hand. Her condition is serious due to the shock at her advanced age.

Kaban remained at the scene of the accident until the arrival of Corporal Tapp of the state highway patrol from Stroudsburg. After conducting an investigation, Corporal Tapp permitted Kaban to go on his own recognizance, to appear if needed. According to the investigation of the corporal, Mrs. Strunk had been standing on one side of the road talking to Mrs. Grace She wanted to cross to her home and Mrs.

Nicholas told her to wait until the auto had passed, but Mrs. Strunk thought she could make it. She started across the road. Kaban saw her when he was about 20 feet away and, then swung hard to the right to avoid striking her. As a wheel of his car went into the shoulder of the road his automobile swung- completely around.

The officers have been unable to determine if the car hit Mrs. Strunk or if she ran into the side of the machine. It is believed, however, that the auto hit her as it skidded around, as she was picked up about 25 feet away from the place where she was crossing. Hundreds at Elmer E.
