Four drivers escaped injury when they were involved in an accident at the intersection of Riverside Drive and Elm street about 7 o'clock Monday evening. Lt. Richard Clark who investigated, said Claudia Baseley was driving east on Elm street and turned left as the light turned green, and into the path of a west-bound car driven by Harry Lake of Skokie, who applied his brakes and slid sidew a y s, striking the Baseley auto in the rear. Joseph Sperandio of Wonder Lake who was driving behind Lake, did the same, swerving to the left and h i t t i n g L a k e .
