Cars Hit Head On. Automobiles Turned the Corner and Collided.
While O.W. Petersille was driving from Hutchinson to Burrton
he collided with an automobile driven by Harry Harris, Near Burrton.
The collision, occurred at the corner west of Joe Parker’s
place. Mr. Harris and Mr. Petersille,
traveling in opposite directions, turned the corner at just about the same time
and the cars crashed together. The sun
shining into Harris’ eyes blinded him so that he failed to see the approach of
the Petersille car.
A broken axle and other damages to each car was the result
of the collision.
