Mr. Lucas had gotten to the center of the street when he was struck down without knowing how it happened by the motorcycle which came at a fast rate of speed down Central Ave. and it is not only miraculous that Mr. Lucas was not killed, but that others who were making it to the track were not hit.

Richard Jones who was located at Camp Taylor and who was later connected with the First Standard Bank. Mr. Lucas came to Louisville two days before Derby day and was able to leave for his home in Chillicothe Thursday evening.
