Heading: Both Cars Going East

Text: The two streetcars were traveling east on Swope Parkway when the first, operated by F. A. Fleming, 70 years old, 4235 Woodland Avenue, thirty-three years an employee of the Kansas City Public Service Company, stopped the car to discharge passengers at Park Avenue. G. A. Foutch, 43 years old, 644 Southwest Boulevard, operator of the rear car, said he was moving at fifteen to twenty miles an hour and believed he had plenty of time to stop. He didn't. Foutch's car rammed the rear of the other car, penetrating about five feet and shattering virtually all the glass in both cars. His left thumb was lacerated severely and he was treated at the scene. He said he had been with the company thirty days. At the hospital it was reported that none of the victims suffered dangerous injuries!
