Buck Escapes Brooklyn Pillar Crash in Wilds Taxi Ride
Noted animal hunter Frank Buck narrowly survives a Brooklyn wilds escape as a taxicab sideswipes an elevated pillar and a streetcar. Buck and Capt. R. Cheyne Stout, zoo directors, escape unharmed though traffic stalls on Flatbush Avenue. Buck humorously bets he’d rather face tigers in Africa than L pillar dangers in Brooklyn.
