Thirty persons were injured, two
probably fatally in a head-on COL
lision at S:15 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing at Forty-second and Figueroa
streets between cars No. / and No. 10
of the Redondo line.
The accident occurred on a danger
GUS curve where there was a collision
last winter resulting in injuries to
numerous persons. Up to a late hour
last night the blame was not fully de-
termined, but it was said Conductor
E. b. Witty of south bound car No. 1
was responsible.
Before leaving the telephone station
at the junction where the Inglewood
cars of the Redondo line and the Dali
ton avenue cars branch to the south
west and the Gardena cars to the
southeast, the south-bound train crew
are supposed to get orders from the
dispatcher before proceeding.
The conductor asserts he received
his orders to go ahead and he swung
on his car and rang the bell. He is
believed to have neglected to notice
the citybound car crew had not regis
tered their arrival.
Motormen Jump From Cars
Motorman Mckenzie turned on his
power and was going at an estimated
rate of eight miles an hour when he
saw the inward-bound car approach
ing on the same track.
Mckenzie applied his air brake and
tried to reverse, but the other car, No.
10, crashed into the outbound coach,
telescoping 1t as far as the inclosed
portion.
Both cars remained on the track.
Motorman Mckenzie remained on
his car until the last moment and then
jumped. He was bruised and sus-
tanned a cut on his head.
On the In bound car Motorman w.
0. Smith and Conductor Al Moyen
jumped when they saw the collision
was unavoidable,
Conductor Witty also escaped injury
by jumping
The passengers were thrown into an
indescribable state Of confusion and at
tempted to leave the coaches just as
the crash came.
Many on the outside seats were able
