This Day in History: 1935-07-19

A Mountindale, N.Y. laundry truck driver either fell asleep at the wheel or lost control of his vehicle on the Ramsey traffic circle of Route 2 (now Route 17) and caused a minor accident involving an engaged couple from Ramsey. Miss Susan Anderson was slightly injured in the accident, but she and her fiancee* continued on their way to do some shopping for their wedding the next day. The wedding came off as scheduled and the trial of the offending driver was postponed until the couple returned from their wedding trip. He was fined $25 for reckless driving.
