Car Negligence Blamed After Farmer Dies Waiting
A 60-year-old Crestview farmer, George Mackay, dies after a Springfield pike collision with a Glendale car. He lies in a saloon pool room for over an hour while calls to the Cincinnati Traction company for a rescue car go unanswered. Dr. Rufus Southworth and bystanders administer aid as the man, severely injured, is moved to a car and taken toward the city hospital but dies before arrival. Witnesses report the trolley was speeding and say the special car was delayed, prompting sharp criticism of the company’s perceived indifference.
