TWELVE TONS OF
HIGH EXPLOSIVES
PERIL area HERE
Driver of Big Transport Truck
Takes to Ditch to Avoid
Collision
Accident Occurs. during Night
Near Swiss Inn South of
BluftOn

A large transport truck carrying
1Z42 tons of dynamite overturned in
ditch one-fourth miles south of the
Swiss Inn on the Dixie highway
early Saturday, but a major high
way catastrophe was averted when
the dangerous cargo weathered the
mlshap without exploding.
Four trucks and an automobile
We're at the scene when the accident
occurred at ITO a. m. and had the
huge load of dynamite been set off
III the crash all would have been in
the blast area.
With its driver lost and on the
wrong road, the northbound red
tractor and trailer labeled High
Explosives" was forced into the
ditch when a speeding southbound
automobile attempted to pass truck
also headed south. To avoid head
on collision, the dynamite-laden semi
took to the ditch and overturned.
Two TRUCKS DITcHED
The dynamite truck was followed
by another semi which also was
ditched, but it did not overturn. A
third truck, also northbound, was
stopped before it joined the others
in the ditch.
All four trucks stopped, but the
passenger car blamed for the crack
up kept on going, the truck drivers
reported. The estimated speed of
the car was about so miles an hour.
The night was cloudy and a light
snow was falling.
Enroute from Chicago to Zanes-
vile, the dynamite truck was on the
Dixie highway in error. Travelling
on Route 80 through Beaverdam, the
truck driver made a mistake when
he turned north on the Dixie, head
ed toward Bluffton. In the huge van
We're 511 cases of dynamite, weigh
ing so pounds each.
DRIVER UNHURT
Driver of the truck was Charles
Drenkel, DO, of Chicago. Drenkel
was not injured, but the truck tract
or was badly damaged. In the crash
the cab and motor were torn loose
from the body, and the frame was
sprung. There was slight damage
to the trailer, caused by the shifting
load bulging the sides.
Highway patrolmen who investi-
gated the crash said the truck
would not have overturned, but a
narrow, deep ditch near the fence
caught the wheels, causing the We
hicle to jack-knife and turn on its
side.
Shortly after noon on Saturday,
two relief trucks arrived from Chi
cago, and the load was transferred
to resume it's journey to GAINESVILLE,
where it was destined for coal mine
use.
The wrecked tractor will be placed
on a float and hauled back to Chi
cago headquarters of the owner, The
III. r. Henderson Trucking Co.
State highway patrolmen parked
the trailer until another tractor
could make the trip from Chicago
to pick it up.
