Six Men Die in Freight Train Collision Near Bowling Green
A northbound fast freight crashed into a heavily loaded passenger train near Sugar Bridge, Bowling Green, killing six youths who had boarded moments earlier and injuring at least ten to twenty others. Two rear coaches lacked rear lights and illumination, contributing to the disaster as the crowded cars failed to receive fares. Crew and Toledo witnesses describe a head-on crash that telescoped a rear car and derailed a third, with rescue efforts hampered by the wreck’s remote location.
