MOTOR ACCIDENT
WHILE IN CANADA

What might have been a most serious
accident befell Dr.. and Mrs d. A. Eur
brigg and their two children while on
their recent automobile trip to- visit rel
atives in Canada, when their fine large
Hudson closed car crashed into the ten
der Of a freight train at a dangerous
crossing, at Gait Ontario, resulting in
three Of the passengers being badly cut
by flying glass and sustaining severe
bruises while the other five suffered from
bruises and shock.
Besides Dr. and Mrs. zurbrigg and
their two children, they had with them
Mrs. Zurbrigg's mother. Mrs. Merner,
Edward Merner and his two sisters, and
at the time Of the accident Mr.. Merner
was driving the car. He stated that he
saw the watchman at the side of the
road with his flag in his hand and had
every reason TO consider the road clear.
Unable TO see the coming train or hear
the noise Of it. he went ahead and the
car crashed into the engine Of a passing
freight, throwing the motor car around
and knocking the watchman down. For
tunately both the automobile and the
train We're going at slow rate Of speed.
Had either been going faster no doubt
the collision would have been fatal
The flying glass Of the sides and wind
shield Of the motor car was responsible
for the injuries to the three passengers.
Little Miss Betty Zurbrigg was thrown
completely out Of the car and was stun
ned but not otherwise injured. All suf-
fered from the shock.
The automobile, a new one, was bad
ly smashed. The radiator was smashed
in. the front wheels crumpled up. the
axle twisted and the springs smashed
Every piece Of glass on the machine was
broken.
