AUTO TRUCK RUNS
DOWN MOUNTAIN
Four Occupants Injured When Machine
Goes Over 15-FO0t Bank at
EasthamptOIl

EASTHAAPTON, Mass, April Is
Several men had remarkable escape
from death or serious injuries yesterday
morning when Federal truck of the
Boston and Springfield Dispatch took a
nose dive of Is feet down bank at the
edge of Holyoke- Easthampton mountain
road The driver, Thomas McDermott
of Greenwood street. Springfield, sus-
tanned numerous cuts and bruises
Thomas Taylor of AL High street, Hol-
yoke, who was found under the truck,
received painful, but not serious, in
juries Albert Gordon of SOL South
Bridge street, Holyoke. received laeera-
tions and Ryno Grise of 2S7 Maple
street, Holyoke, sustained a scalp
wound.
Not less surprising than the compare
lively light injuries of the men was the
circumstances that the truck, which had
its wheels in the air after the accident,
could be operated on its own power
when its wheels were once more on the
ground.
The brakes on the truck failed to
work when the descent of the mountain
was begun The truck was kept in the
road until the turn near the foot of the
mountain was reached. A rock on one
side of the road at the turn caused the
machine to swerye, phInging sharply
downward and turning completely over
at the foot of the embankment.
