BIG AUTO TRUCK WRECKED.
Road Oiling Tank Goes Down 100
Foot Embankment-Nob Hurt.

The l5-ton automobile oil tank truck en-
ployed by the state highway department
for oiling the state roads was wrecked
last week Thursday when, owing to the
failure of the driver to properly make the
turn at the top Of Depot street hill, it
went off the road and down the embank
ment on Glen street. Fortunately the
driver had sufficient time to leap from the
machine and was not injured
There is a sharp turn to be made on
leaving the depot yard, where the tank
had just been filled The driver had diff
Guilty in making it on a previous trip, and
to add to his troubles this time the speeds
failed to work. 1t was while adjusting
these that the truck got so close to the
embankment that the forward end was
against the guard rail, and when the driv-
er found 1t impossible to shift into reverse
speed as the brake was released he en-
deavored to get back to the center of the
road by going forward swinging to the left,
but the right front wheel slid over the ton
OF the bank and there was no stopping the
big truck from rolling over and over down
the embankment nearly 100 feet The
perpendicular drop at this point was about
40 feet
| The tank itself was practically ruined
and the running gear greatly damaged
but the engine from the outside appeared
to be intact. The asphalt oil flowed broad
cast and even found its way into tho
/ Ashuelot river, some distance away. An
accident insurance is carried by the Alden
/ Spears company Of Boston, owners Of the
truck. Workmen from this firm arrived
/ Saturday to prepare the machine for shin
ment by freight to Boston
Oiling the state road has been held vi
until another truck can be secured

is the surcSt and safest way to re-
