MAN PASSENGERS
HURT WHEN BUS IS
UPSET NEAR ElSMERE
Continued from pasc l

Tho driver OF the bus evidently
tried to get his machine back on the
road and in doing so. the machine
overturned on it's left side, the machine
crashing into n telegraph pole as 1t
overturned. Tho driver evidently was
trying TO avoid this pole.
As he crashed into tho pole the ma
chino was demolished. Practically
every piece OF glass In the bus was
broken. The front part OF the bus was
crushed In by the impact. The left
side OF the car was split In half, Mt
point just below the windows on
that side.
1t Is reported that there were SS
passengers In the bus, some OF whom
were standing. Jeese Jones. the Mar
shallton resident, who was injured,
was standing in the front part The
register on the bus is said to have had
3S fares registered on It.
As the bus went over the occupants
were thrown to one side and for this
reason It is considered remarkable that
more were not injured. Lunches.
smoking pipes. glass and eome articles
OF wearing apparel were strewn about
the wreck this morning.
The driver is reported to have said
that he was running at about IS
miles an hour, while other reports
are that he was cunning at a much
higher rate Of speed. One man, who
saw the rear end OF the truck as It
overturned. declares that Il turned
very slowly. The machine evidently
skidded on the asphalt road and this
| resulted in Il leaving the road en-
tirely and going over on the earth
shoulder.
Considerable excitement followed the
overturning OF the machine. as tho
occupants tried TO get out OF the car
In which they were practically trapped
and It was some time before all tn,
| people were able 10 get out OF tn,
| wreckage.
| The more seriously injured were re-
| moved to the Delaware Hospital II

capped uninjured continued on thei
way 10 this city by other means o
transportation.
New road at this point runs paral
lei TO the trolley tracks OF the Brandy
wine Springs line OF the Wilmington
and Philadelphia Traction Co. and
according TO people living along tn
road at that place, it has been a won
der that there have not been man,
accidents, owing TO the keen rivalr,
between the bus lines, In their effort
to pass one another and secure passen
gers ahead OF their rivals.
