Auto Truck in Wreck Near Northford and Durham
One of Rogers' auto trucks ran off the road between Northford and Durham yesterday afternoon shortly after five. It broke through a heavy fence and caught fire from the exhaust as the engine stalled on contact with large timbers. The driver's assistant extinguished the blaze by drawing water from a brook. A timber pierced the truck front but miraculously neither the driver nor the helper were injured. The truck was returned to the road and towed to the city last night.
