Tragedy Occurs At Ashburn Road Level Crossing, N. B. —- Third Man Critic- ally Injured.
SAINT JOHN, N. B., March 25»-
‘rwo men were killed and a third critically injured tonight at the Ashburn road- level croaslnz. lust outside the Saint John city limits. when their automobile was struck by Canadian National train No. l8, inbound irom Moncton. The dead ore John McLaughlin Jr. 35, and Thomas McKay, ill, both o: Brockvllle, iive miles irom the city. George McDonrfd. 30, was rushed to hospital with multiple in- Juries.
The automobile was bound out irom Saint John. Just before the level croasin is reached, the Ash- burn road anches from the msin highway at right angles and‘ cross- es the tracks. View of trains up- proachlng irom the east is obscured by several buildings and it is believ- ed the men were unaware oi the train until too late to stop.
Two eye witnesses, D. L. Bacon and C. R. Tait oi Coldbrcok, sew the crash. All three men, they said, were thrown from the, auto as its side was ripped open by the loco- motivcfs prow. The oar itself was dragged about 50 yards before be- ing flung aside.
The train was in charge oi Con- ductor R. H. Clark oi Moncton and the driver was Percy Keith, also oi Moncton. An inquest will be held tomorrow.
