NEWARK. Aug. 25.-Delaware
avenue and Depot road. where nu-
merous accidents have happened
during the past few years. was the
scene OF another collision between
two automobiles about 10 o'clock
last night. A Ford coupe owned
by Walter Powell and driven by
former soldier from the Rehabilita-
ton Division. was going down Depot
road and crashed into a Maxwell
carrying a Maryland license at Della
ware avenue. Fortunately no one
was injured. but the Maxwell ma
chine was jammed up against a tele-
phone pole in front OF the Univer-
sity OF Delaware Infirmary, while
the Ford turned completely over and
landed on its top.
A large crowd soon gathered and
assisted in getting the Ford righted.
The top was smashed and glass in
the doors broken. The Maxwell was
also damaged but both cars were
able to run after some minor re-
pairs. Several "rehab" men were in
the Ford and how they escaped in
jury when the car turned over is a
miracle The driver was the only
one in the Maxwell The wheel
tracks on the road which was only
tarred and resurfaced this week
would indicate that the Maxwell had
nearly cleared Depot road when
struck. The driver OF this car said
he was going at slow rate OF
speed. Had the Ford turned up
Delaware avenue instead Of down
that street. the accident would no
doubt have been avoided, IL was stat
ed by those who were on the scene
within a minute OF the collision.
BY turning the same way that the
Maxwell was going the Ford went
directly into the larger car. The
crash could be heard for several
hundred yards.

where they were working and rob
bed them OF about SIS and a gold
