As the car which Bear was driving approached, the pther car went to pass the truck which started up, blocking the way, and caused Bear to turn to the right to avoid a collision, As he did so, his auto- mobile 'skidded on the pavement, and went over into the ditch, turne ing completely around to face the' west, and going right over on {ts top. The four occupants managed to scramble out just before the car burst into flames, Other mote orists who were coming along be- hind picked up the four persons and brought them to Oshawa, while a call was sent in to the fire department, Car Wrecked One of the fire trucks was rush ed to the scene, and with the use of chemicals fought the fire. The car, however, was almost a com- plete wreck, as the firemen had to cut parts of the body away in order to get at the centre of the fire, At that time, there was con- siderable anxiety on the party of scores of people who gathered as to whether there was anyone still in the car, as no trace of its oce cupants could be found at the scene, The firemen, however, quickly disclosed the fact that the car was empty, the marvel being that anyone could possibly have survived such an accident, After making investigations, the police this morning decided that there was no need for any further action in the case, while the own- er of the car, declined to give the names of the others who were in it with him at the time.
