CLOSE CALL FOR SIX
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Car Leaps Across Sidewalk In
to Seven-Foo Excavation
Lands on Its Wheels.

Six persons IN an automobile owned
by j, j. Burch. OF 40s North Twelfth
street. and driven by Mrs. Burch. last
night had narrow escape from serious.
If not fatal, injury when the car
mounted the sidewalk on North Sec
ond street. between Broad and Mar
shall streets. and speeding across 1t.
landed upright at the bottom of an
excavation seven feet deep.
Mrs. Ruroh, who was being in
structed how 10 drive the car by J. w
Grass berger, of 22t6 East" Broad
street, had n number OF her friends
with her. Everything progressed
nicely until, running north on Second
street. Mrs, Burch attempted and sue
ceeded IN turning out around a pass
ing wagon.
Turned Too Suddenly.
She seemed to have turned too far
or too suddenly She lost control Of
the car and 1t took the sidewalk The
curling at the point where the auto
mobile left the street is about ten
inches above the level of the gutter,
but the car seemed to make the step
up as easily as though it were all
level
laying of a foundation for new
building on that block Ii has been
carried to depth of seven feet, and
AT the point where the automobile
entered the excavation the cut is al
most perpendicular from the edge of
the sidewalk, to the bottom.
Over the sidewalk went the car. Mr..
Grassberger, sitting beside Mrs. Burch
in the drivers seat, caught the wheel
and made an effort to regain control of
the car and stop it short of the brink.
Lands Right Side Up.
He was unsuccessful and into the
excavation leaped the car. None had
time to jump from the auto.
The car. instead of turning over or
landing on its side struck the bottom
of the pit. on all four wheels and
came to standstill. None Of the six
persons appeared. even slightly hurt.
climbing from the car as though they
were getting out on the level of a
street All had been badly frighien~
ed The car was not badly damaged.
Why the automobile did not turn
turtle as it went through the space
between the sidewalk and the bottom
of the excavation. or why ii did not
turn in air and fall on it's side. is
something none who saw the accident
can explain.
