Ped Recall of Newark Collision Driver Fades Mind
Oscar Rarcliffe, engine driver in the Newark trolley collision on February 19, has recovered physically but lost his memory. He raves about his engine, imagines throttles and levers, and recounts the collision only as far as his condition allows. He is hospitalized near High Street, fixated on a statue of St Michael at the entrance, and his recollections are distressing to observers. The report notes his mind remains impaired despite physical recovery.
