light delivery truck opposite the
Cuninghame Greenhouses on Huron
street, resulting in minor damages
to both vehicles.

the north side of the highway, facing
west. Another car parked in front
of him made it necessary that he

fender and bumper of the car were
badly crushed in the impact and the
grill of the truck' also suffered but
fortunately the occupants of both
vehicles escaped uninjured. Local
police were called and investigated
the accident.
