This Day in History: 1918-05-25

Another serious accident was barely averted at Miller Road and Franklin Turnpike. Red Cross nurses were taking collections at the corner from passing motorists. A delivery vehicle stopped to make a contribution and a light car behind it smashed into it. The second car had a crushed fender, headlight and a shattered wind shield. Only a moment later, John Winter, who was sweeping up the broken glass in the road, was nearly struck by another speeding auto. (Bristow)
