The Wrenns, a bottled gas family, died with their two infants in the cab. Peter Woodbury, judge in Boston, was among the injured. Fire engines and ambulances rushed to the scene as flames swept through the car. The plant near the crossing, run by Koppers Co., was not damaged. The annual Maine Women’s Savings Bank party followed in Biddeford with 100 members attending.
