Both Damaged But Occupants
All Escaped Injury
EACH CAR LOST A WHEEL
Automobiles Were Owned by VIM. l.

Ouackenbush OF North Adams

A Cadillac touring cal owned and
driven by William l.. Gokay Of this
village and a Franklin car owned by
Mrs Zebra Quackenbush of North
Adams colided short distance
south of Pownal Center Friday after
noon. Both cars we're damaged but
none of the occupants were injured.
The two cars came together on a
stretch Of road where there WAS sui
flcient room for two cars TO pass. Mr.
Gokay asserts that his ca was on the
right side OF the road and that when
he realided that the course on which
the Franklin was running would
bring the two cars together he en-
deavo.ed TO turn out upon the grass.
He was unable to do so fo- the -ea-
son that the road was cut TO a depth
CT about IL inches and the bank held
his car in the travelled highway.
Photographs. which were taken OF his
car. show that the right hand wheel
was against the bank when the two
cars came together.
The Quackenbush car was being
driven by q chauffeur and was ocr
cupled by the owner and two small
children. One of the children was
sitting on the front seat and when
the cars came together the child's
head went through the windshield.
The child was not cut by tho broken
glass and was not otherwise injured.
The left hand front wheel OF the
Cadillac car was wrecked but other
wise the car was not badly damaged
One front~wheel was also taken off
the North Adams car and the other
front wheel was damaged.
The driver of the North Adams car
did not explain how he happened TO
be so far to the left when the coils.

ton car was travelling in the opposite
direction
The scene OF the accident is a short
