Crossing Accident Near Roblin Prompts Safety Letter
An almost fatal crossing collision occurred last Thursday at about 8 10 PM as a 1927 Chevrolet Sedan driven by Lawrence Andrews and passenger Clarence Paul was struck by a westbound train near Roblin. Both men escaped serious injuries, with Clarence needing hospital X rays for a back injury and broken ribs. The incident sparked discussion on crossing signals and safety measures, including potential added stop signs and improved lighting, as officials consider fixes to the dangerous two track crossing.
