Electric car spark burns Worthington resident on Main Street
Richard H. Earle, insurance agent of Worthington Street, was struck by a spark from an electric car as it started on a southbound leg near State Street. The spark burned his overcoat and undercoat and scorched papers inside a leather book. Neighbors helped smother the fire, and Earle believes the incident was caused by the spark from the railcar as wet tracks may have allowed electrical discharge.
