Cars Badly Damaged
In Crash Sunday
On Brunswick Road

An auto smash occurred between
Gardiner and Richmond, Sunday,
when Kendrck Doughty of Var
mouthville and couple of friends
drove their Ford coupe out of a wood
road onto the highway just. in time
to be run into by Ford sedan driv-
enhy c. J. Grenier Of Berlin, n. H.
The Grenier car. which was occu-
pied by Mr.. Grenier and several
members of his family, came over
the top of rise and the driver was
unable to see Mr. Dougherty's car
until within short distance. OH
Ger Eddie Marks of the State High
way police, who investigated the
matter, stated Sunday afternoon that
the brakes on the Grenier car were
set 60 feet before the smash.
Both cars were badly damaged, the
rear end of Mr.. Doughty's car being
pushed in and the radiator and fen
ders of the other Ford being crump-
led, wheels sprung out and other
damage, resulting in both having to
be towed to a Gardiner garage. AS
it appeared obvious that neither
driver was to blame, the matter will
be adjusted amicably out of court.
