z KILLED, ONE HURT
IN CROSSING CRASH
Farm laborers Die When En-.
gine Hits Truck Near
Chadds Ford

Two men were killed and another Sc
riously injured when a small motortruck
on which they were riding was struck
by n train at Twin Bridges, two miles
below Chadds Ford, late yesterday aft
ernoon.
Alexander jefferson, 76 Douglas
street, Wilmington, and Vincent Whit
aker, TO Lincoln street, Wilmington,
were killed. Norman Gaines. 2510 West
Locust street. Wilmington, is in the
Chester County Hospital in n serious
condition. All are Negroes.
The men, with a number of others
employed on the farm of Joseph Luke,
were being taken to Wilmington There
were few witnesses Of the accident other
than occupants of the truck. Police
say no one is able to explain satis-
factorily the cause Of the accident.
At the point where the northbound
express crashed into the automobile,
there is clear view of the track.
According to authorities. it Is believed
the driver saw the train coming and
attempted to cross the tracks in its
path.
The men who were killed and in
jured were on the rear of the machine
the part which received the full force
of the collision. The motortruck was
spun around, overturned and the occu-
pants spilled over the roadway.
Another truck. containing laborers
from the same farm, was following. The
men were taken to the hospital, where
examination of the other occupants of
the damaged machine showed no one else
was seriously injured.
