Driver Leaps To Safety In Clay Street Crossing Crash
A freight train demolished a tractor trailer at 1 45 a m at the Clay Street crossing in Wellington New York. The truck driver George W Hart 27 jumped from the cab seconds before the engine struck the front of the trailer and the rear of the tractor. The impact scattered the semi trailer and its 35395 pound load of sheet steel, tying up the Big Four line for about four hours. Hart backed off three times to clear the incline before crossing and said he only saw the train when it was a ways away. He ran about 20 feet before the diesel plowed into the outfit. Only two front tires were salvaged. Engineer W Lynch and conductor T W Polley of Cleveland operated the train. The tractor and trailer were owned by Hart and leased to Eiia Freight Lines of Warren.
