The two-month-old son of a Cumberland native was fatally injured in a two-car accident at noon yesterday on Maryland State Route 60, three miles north of Hagerstown. Six other persons, including his mother and father, were injured. The infant, Patrick Owen Lloyd, died of his injuries at 4:30 p.m. yesterday at Washington County Hospital, Hagerstown. Injured in the accident and admitted to the same hospital were Richard Lee Lloyd Sr., 33, of RD 5, Hagerstown, driver of one car, and his wife, Yvonne Dale (Winterstine) Lloyd, 26, a native of here; his sister, Cynthia Dawn Lloyd, 2. Mr. Lloyd and Cynthia were reported in fair condition and Mrs. Lloyd in satisfactory condition last night. Also admitted to the hospital was Mrs. Marguerite R.

Treated and released were two brothers of the victim, Jeffrey Scott Lloyd, 3, and Richarld Lee Lloyd, Jr., age 4. According to State Police at Hagerstown, Mrs. Ridenour was traveling north on Route 60 at an apparently high rate of speed when she swerved to the right shoulder to avoid a legally stopped vehicle in the northbound lane of traffic. The car then veered back to the road and crossed the center line where it was struck by the southbound Lloyd vehicle. Charges are pending against Mrs. Ridenour according to State Police. Tfc. H. V. Smith investigated the accident. Both cars were demolished.
