The accident occurred short­ ly after midnight half a mile west of Brucefield on the Bayfield road. Ernest Epps, driver of the truck, had run out of gasoline and had just returned from Brucefield with a supply. After putting in the gaso­ line he noticed that one of the tires was soft and had just connect­ ed up the engine pump when the crash came. The car in which the young men were rjding had passed another car a short distance from the truck and it is believed that Taylor the driver of the car failed to see the standing .truck owing to the heavy cloud of dust and glare of the lights.

The two youdg men who were home from Detroit spending their holidays, were re­ turning to their homes at the time of the crash. Taylor was believed to be seriously hurt and was moved to the hospital at Clinton where it was found that he had suffered a cut about the scalp and face.
