The high speed Of the passenger train
threw its locomotive aud first three
coaches over on the engine Of the
freight train, telcscoping the smoker
and the car following. The forward
cars OF the freight train were splin-
tered 20 fragments.
or the passengers In the smoker none
escaped Injury. Fortunately there was
no fire. but the heavy timbcrs Of the
wrecked cars plnioned down many and
prevented them from getting out until
assistance arrived.
As soon as possible after the wreck
occurred doctors were sent on n spe-
cial train 10 the scene from Loraln.
The injured were hurried 10 Loraln
and placed In the hospital there. The
dead were conveyed TO the morgue ut
Lorain. awaiting identification and dis.
position.
When the trains came together al
most everybody in the smoker was
doing. The sudden jar hurled them
out OF their seats into the aisle and
threw several persons to the roof and |
sides Of the car. which seemed all at |
once to crunch In like paper bag, |
pinning down each passenger In the |
position in which he had been caught. |
The passengers in the second car es-
capped more easily, as there the vio-
lence of the impact was not so severe,
although few got off without cuts. |
bruises, sprains or broken bones. The |
two rear cars were sleepers. and they |
withstood the shock without suffering
serious harm. No passengers in the
sleepers were injured.
