Automobiles In A Very Bad Mixup At Dixon Park
A collision on a steep Dixon park incline involved William Killmer and two parties from Dixon. Killmer's touring car, heavy and laden, failed brakes and struck H G Reynolds ahead, sending Killmer’s car onto its side. Six people escaped with injuries or scares as exchange with a second vehicle caused a second crash. Hart, his wife and companions avoided injury after a precise turn into a bank.
