McKnight of Bond Lake, proceeding south, left the line of traffic to turn into the Golf Club. He apparently did not see Mr. Rain- ford s car but even so might have cleared in time had not another mo- tor coming from behind passed him on his right and blocked his path. Mc- Knight at this juncture applied his brakes and skidded into the path of the Rainford car, which crashed into his rear right wheel. Both tires ex- ploded. The body of the McKnight car was staved in and running board and fenders of one side crumpled up. Mr. Rainford s car, a Buick, how- ever. suffered most damage. The im- pact wrecked the front of his machine and carried away the underworks, the frame was twisted and sprung and the bracket and frame of the engine cracked.

Ice- coated Windshields made vision im- possible and the danger was accent- 'uated by the icy pavements.
