California street bill.
Every available ambulance was
rushed to the scene, where the in

and sidewalk. some unconscious, some
dying, other attempting to crawl to
the shelter of doorways.
Along the length of an entire
block, hospital interncs and ambu'
lance drivers, aided by policemen
and witnesses, gathered up the injur-
ed passengers.
They were rushed to various hos

attempts to learn the names of those
in niured and whether any had died.
Hurtled Down Hill
The crash took place at Califor-
MIA and Montgomery streets. An
eastbound California street cable
