P.R. crossing. The two cars ahead of the coupe slowed up for the cros- sing, but the driver of the ill-fated one did not slacken her speed.' Re- alizing she would smash into the slowing car ahead--well, something would happen and it did! The coupe took to the right shoulder of the road, shot between the bell-control of the wigwag and the wigwag itself, a feat that no one ordinarily would attempt, leaped over the rails and, hitting the low bank on the south 'side ofthe track "turned turtle and stopped with its wheels in the air. The driver and her companion crawl- ed out, none the worse for the mis- hap but the car will require exten- sive repairs, The woman seemed quite unconcerned over the affair and was heard to. remark that this was the second time on the same day she had turned the car over. with Mr. and Mrs, Elwood Masters.
