Show Automobiles Crash At St. Intersection The first real auto clash of any consequence con-sequence for 1933, and which gave the citizens as well as the drivers of the cars a real thrill, was staged at the intersection of Main and Center streets Friday afternoon at about 3:30. Fortunately the cars involved only side-swiped and neither of the drivers were hurt. Both autos, however, how-ever, were more or less damaged. The collision might have resulted in something some-thing dangerous, but it was not decreed de-creed at that time. D. E. Borg, manager for the Consolidated Con-solidated Wagon & Machine company, was making a turn at the intersection, intersec-tion, and his front wheels were about in the middle of the pavement when Lewis Larson, the Manti attorney, riding with a companion and going north, attempted to pass the Borg car. The Larson car struck the fender fen-der of the car driven by Mr. Borg, turning the latter auto around, while Mr. Larson's machine traveled some 150 feet or more before it was brought under control. An examination examina-tion of the cars revealed that the Borg car had the fender smashed and a sprung axel. The Larson au'o had the left hind fender torn off, a flat tire and a damaged axel. Both autos withstood the crash without being turned over. Had this happened, likely like-ly both drivers would- have suffered injuries:. ' 1 |
