Milk Truck Hit by Fast Train Near McCullough Crossing
Two men escaped serious injury after a westbound Pennsylvania Railroad flyer struck a five ton cream truck at the McCullough avenue crossing. About 1,600 gallons of cream valued over 3000 dollars spilled along the right of way for a quarter mile. The driver Joseph E. Sordan and helper James Shannon Jr. were briefly trapped but survived with cuts and bruises. The truck, wrecked and valued at 5000 dollars, carried cream destined for several companies before returning to Cincinnati. Signal disputes emerged between the watchman Lee Hughes and Sordan as the train halted and crossed. The incident required firemen and local responders to clear the scene with help from nearby animals reportedly aiding cleanup.
