There were 40 persons on one car and 20 on the other The dead are Mrs. Clara Dille. a passenger, and Otto Borchert. a motorman.
 The accident occurred when a south bound Scranton road car carrying a crowd of women shoppers home at the rush hour, broke away from the motorman on a hill approaching the bridge and tore down upon the north approach to the bridge just as a north bound car reached the same point The runaway car jumped the track and struck the north bound car. The combined weight of the two cars and the shock of the collision was too much for the wooden bridge which sagged and then gave way.
