On June 10, 1933, Bonnie's right leg was badly burned in an accident where Clyde Barrow flipped their car into a ravine. Clyde ran to get his brother Buck and sister-in-law Blanche to help because he was worried Bonnie was dying. They treated her injuries with baking soda and nonprescription remedies obtained from pharmacies, never running the risk of taking her to a doctor. Afterwards Bonnie walked with a severe limp, and she had to be carried by Clyde when they had to run.
