Train Hits Auto Near Centre Moriches Killing Mother and Wounding Family
On July 10 at a grade crossing near Centre Moriches on the Long Island Railroad, a Hampton Express train struck a Stearns automobile carrying W. R. Hutchings, his wife, and their ten year old daughter Lillian. Mrs. Hutchings died instantly, Mr. Hutchings died later, and Lillian was mortally injured. Chauffeur Frederick Clough escaped with minor injuries after the car ran onto the tracks despite no warning bell audible to them. The train halted, passengers were frightened, and doctors treated the injured at the nearby cottage opposite the crossing. The accident underscored the crossing’s lack of warning signals beyond the automatic bell and the fast speed of the express train.
