Wreck on Kansas Avenue Bridges Amid Crowded Streetcar Chaos
A violent streetcar crash in Kansas City caused a mass scramble as the vehicle failed to cross a bridge over the Argenteuve area. Eyewitnesses describe crowds flooding the scene, with police and railway officials directing traffic and securing passengers. Several people fled to safety while a woman carrying a baby narrowly escaped drowning when ice and wreckage collapsed the crossing. Union teams and city authorities worked through a foggy river to assess damage to the Hook Island bridge and the riverfront, with power lines and telephones disrupted. A municipal inquiry and licenses issued at the courthouse were noted as part of the ensuing investigation.
