 A large five ton truck owned and driven by Vito Redavid of Bristol, bearing a load of would-be joy-riders, crashed into a new Ford coupe owned by Nils w. Nilsson, son of MT. and Mrs. John Nilsson of Forestville ave- nue yesterday completely demolishing the Ford. The accident happened early yesterday morning near Pratt's corner on Forestville avenue. At the time of the accident, MT. and Mrs. Nils W. Nilsson were starting out for an all day trip. With them was J. c. Nilsson, brother of Nils. MT. and Mrs. Nilsson were recently married in Northa mpton and were enjoying their honeymoon visiting with MT. Wilson's parents, intending to leave today for Cleveland where they will make their future home. Details of the accident are meagre. It is claimed, however, that both cars were taking the sharp curve, when the truck came at a reckless 'speed and bore down on the Ford. Nilsson attempted to avoid the crash by steering out of the way, but was too late. Fortunately none of the occupants of either car was seri- ously injured, although MT. and Mrs. Nilsson and their companion received severe cuts and bruises together with a shaking up. Dr. J. N. Bull attended them after the accident at their home. The Ford, it is said, was damaged beyond repair.
 Vito Redavid, driver of the truck. was arrested and given a hearing in the Plainville town court last even ing, to answer charges of reckless driving. The accused was found guilty and a fine of s25 and costs was inn posed. Justice Edward P. Prior heard the case and William J. Foran acted as prosecutor. The accused was also fined for neglecting to have his registration card with him.
