Lucey of 40 Wakefield Court, New Britain. and Clifford B. Smith of 146 Mount Vernon street, Middletown, collided head-on at Bourgoise Corner, East Berlin.
 According to witnesses, each car was proceeding at reasonable rate of speed. Details as to how the acci- dent occurred are not obtainable as neither of the drivers was able to explain the cause of the collision.
 Bourgoise Corner has long been dangerous spot and the blind ap- proach to the sharp turn was prob- ably the cause of the crash. The machines were badly damaged, Lucey's car being shattered beyond repair while Smiths machine was also badly wrecked. Constable George kanupka was summoned to the scene and found no cause for ar rest. Neither of the drivers suffered injuries except for slight bruises. The machines were lowed to a near by garage.
