iided with the railway section track

pital suffering from injuries.

4ortli. is reported as having said that
he did not see the lorry until he was
almost iupnn it being intent on look-
ing up the railway tracks for the noon
amain which was due about that time,
when he saw the motor with its load
of three :section men, shovels, and
other tools. he swerved sharply in an
effort to avoid the accident and pos-
sibly averted a more serious crash as
a result of his action. The rear fender
of the car strrick the track • (rotor,
swinging it about and throwing men
and tools toff onto the highway, 'For-
tunately none of the amen fell in the
path of the car but the force with
which Jeffery was 'thrown to the
pavement caused two ribs to be
broken and was the result of a num-
ber of minor cuts. The other section
sten were uninjured. Both the lorry
and the auto !were traveling at a mod-
erate speed, it is said.
