The driver struck his head when, he landed and at present there are 11 stitches in a wound on his right leg near the thigh: When the injured man was picked up by the train: crew he was unconscious. Immediately after the crash the gas- oline tank containing 25 gallons of pet roI exploded and the car was burned to cinders. Nothing 'is a(eft but the form of the engine and slime of the metal work.
