This Day in History: 1931-07-20

The casual way in which accidents were reported in the Mahwah Police book is illustrated by an accident investigated by Chief Smith. Although the names of the drivers of the two cars involved were recorded and a diagram of the accident was put into the book, the exact location is not apparent. Smith reported that “A” car turned into a street and “B” car struck “A” car. At least we know that the incident took place on Valley Road, but there is no clue as to what street the first car turned into. (Bristow)
