Gnazzo was driving the Ford delivery truck owned by V. c. Minello, proprietor of the Plainvile Market on Whiting street, and was headed down East Main street to- wards the railroad tracks. Directly in front of him was an Overland touring car; driven bH' Mrs. Gillis. Ar- cording to the statements of Gnazzo, 1 he had passed the Overland car when 1 suddenly the driver cut in sharp and struck the cap of his rear wheel. | The impact caused the touring car to | swerve towards the curbing with the l result that three wheels wero l smashed. |
 There were four women in the tour | ing car and the fact that they were | not hurt is regarded mira aculous, l since the car caved in at the base. | The Ford was not damaged. Consta- l ble John Conlon investigated the acci- | dent and found no cause for arrest. 1
