Last Saturday afternoon three young men left Toronto in a new Marmon car on pleasure bent having for their des- tination the north country. Evidently they had no taste for the scenery of 5 Bradford and points north` for some of I those motorists.whom they left far he- `hind say that they were going at `a h'lgh rate of. speed While passing these I places. At Buie s culvert on the 10th! concession of Sunn-idale, their travels terminat d for the ti_me being for while {it is pos ible for two cars to pass in a [ten foot space it requires the utmost caution to do so. Ed. Wylie, a former resident of Nottawa, now of Detroit, had invited a. couple of his former friends` to come along with him in his Hudson car for a. little jaunt and un- happily arrived at the aforesaid bridge at a most unfortunate time while go-I I ing at a moderate speed. The cars col- lided disastrously to both although it is said the Toronto car came off se- cond best when it landed.in the deep ditch on the north sideof the road. The driver of the Marmon car was rather badly cut around the head by br`oken glass. and one man in the back seat of the`Hudson car had his hand cut.pC'hief Olive; of Stayner was `called in and made all necessary measure- ments and notes before the wrecks were removed. This is a bad culvert and being on the new Provincial High- way, should be widened without delay. "jl Luunu au uu: car. ' . i` . The accident happened at 6.40 p.m. _ Just half an hour previous, Traffic Of- ' ficer Grant states, he had warned Met- ` ivier for speeding. The Packard is said to have passed everything on the high- way and toh'ave zlgzagged in its course until it ran right across the path `of the Burton car, a Hudson. The crash `happened on a straight piece of road on a sl-ighteincline just beyond the flour mill. The fenders, runningboard, left rear wheel, light and marker of the Hudson were ripped off by the impact. Both front wheels_ of the `Packard were snapped off and the big car continued forty yards up , the hill without them before coming to a; stop. Douglas Burton was the only one in either car to sustain injury, a badly cut arm requiring the services of a . doctor. Metivier gave his name to Bur-_.` ton and he and his` friend boarded a passing truck _and came on to Barrie, later going to Toronto. Bryson s ser- vice truck `took the Burton car away and Chiefstewart, who was on the `scene shortly after Metivier had left. I ordered the Packard impounded. A bot- I ftle of Scotch whiskey and a case of Guiness Stout, all sealed, were found in the Packard. A - - 1 "Cutting In Causes Crash I Chief"Stewart was at the scene of l . still another accident" this side of He- ,witt s Hill, two, miles north of Barrie, iwhen he received word of the Pains- : wick --accident. Hewi`tt's Hill is the first 2 hill on the road to Orillia. At this point .E James Marriott, driving Brennan s but- Acher truck, proceeding to Barrie, was met by -a big sedan containing three or 5 four men, going north. The sedan, it is -; stated by the police, cut ln to pass a vdray going in the same direction and 5 driven by. Wallace McLean. The sedan I did not have sufficient space to sand- wich through and sideswiped the Bren- nan truck. No one was injured. The fenders and running board were ripped ` off the sedan and two suitcases, a n club bag and a basket of tomatoes 5 a jstrewn all over the road. The driverin of the sedan `-is_ being prosecuted for S reckless driving. .
