University student John B. McCormack Jr., 20, of Chicago, III., was ticketed for careless driving last night after his speeding car jumped a curb on Avon Rd. near Devonshire Rd. and sped 510 feet across lawns and driveways before returning to the road and stopping. During the ride, the car swept between the telephone pole and pine tree shown in the foreground and barely missed two parked cars. McCormack declined medical treatment for bruises.
