Two Toronto men lost their lives
Mn a ibad motor accident at Elgiri?'-
' field Saturday evening -and two Ex
eter men who figured in the acci
dent are congratulating themselves
that they escaped with only minor
bruises. Messrs (Severne and Oran
Winer were ‘bringing a load of ash-
phalt shingles to Exeter in their
Studebaker truck and were ap
proaching the intersection at Elgin-
fied where No. 4 and 7 Highways
meet. A large Buick; coupe driving
west - failed to stop at the intersec
tion and made the turn south go
ing toward London, owing to the
slippery condition of the road the
driver of the coupe lost control, the
end of which swerved and struck the
front end of the Winer truck. ‘Seth’
Winer, who was at the wheel of the
truck noticed that th» other car was
in difficulty and had pulled off the
road as far as possible. When the
car struck the truck the latter was
forced into a six foot ditch. The
gasoline tank of the Buick explod
ed and scattered gasoline -which
caught fire and flames leaped up. "to
a height of about ,fifty feet. Both
men in the coupe were thrown out
onto the pavement one of' them be
ing 'badly burned. The cab in which
the Winer boys were imprisoned
also took fire and they broke a win
dow in the cab and crawled through.
The coupe took to the opposite ditch
and when the both cars were stop
ped they were about 130 feet apart.
A portion of the gas tank was found
in the tile yard quite a distance off.
The two Toronto men were F. A.
Morton, aged 65 and* Stuart Laurie
aged 25, whose parents live in Lon
don. Both men were on their way
to visit in London. The elder of the
two was dead when assistance ar
rived, his clothing and body having
been somewhat burned. Mr. Laurie
was taken into one of the gas stat
ions on the cornei’ and first aid was
rendered. He was later removed, to
St. /Joseph’s hospital in London,
where he passed away Sunday at
noon. Both men, suffered fractur
ed skulls.
Quite a numbei ‘of Exe'terites who
were passing the scene of the ac
cident stopped to investigate.
The front of the Winer truck was
badly damaged, one side being
Crumbled right in. How the occu
pants escaped serious injury is a
mystery. The truck was brought to
the Chevrolet garage find a stream
of Visitors visited the place all day
