The accident took place at the Notre Dame Street railway crossing. The Rogers car was proceeding west and the collision took place just as the vehicle crossed the tracks- The impact of the collision completely demolished the right side of the car, tearing both doors off and dragging it some distance down the track before the train could be brought to a stop. Mr. Rogers was uninjured but Mrs. Rogers, who was on the right side in front, received the full shock of impact and suffered a fractured collar bone, a number of several head cuts and body bruises. She was also suffer- ing from shock but her condition last evening was reported as good. Mr. Rogers was able to get out of the car by himself and later entered the hospital for a checkup and found to have suffered no injuries.
