Automobile Accident on NeW York
Road.
An automobile accident happened
the middle of Friday afternoon in
front of Samuel Barton's, on the New
York road, and resulted in one of the
three cars involved, a Ford coupelet,
driven by a travelling salesman for a
Pennsylvania firm, being forced off
the road down the slope and put out
of commission The collision was
caused, it is said, because the driver
of a Hudson super-six car containing
New Brunswick parties, which was
back of the Ford going north, tried to
pass between it and a high powered
New York machine coming south,
when there wasn't sufficient room, and
the Ford received the brunt of the
impact. The car travelling toward At
lantic City contained a New York SEN
ator, who was very indignant over the
stupidity of the driver at fault, and
demonstrated with him in loud tones,
telling him that he wasn't fit to ope-
rate a car and hat it was within his
power to have his drivers license re-
voked. The New Brunswick people
agreed to pay the damages and the
Ford was lowed to the Absecon garage
for repairs.
