Peculiar Accident in Byram Township

Truck Goes Down Embankment and on Lackawanna Tracks--Was Necessary to Have Wrecker to Move Truck from Tracks

An odd Automobile accident happened about 10:30 last Thursday night in Byram township. Leonard M. Hull, of Andover, was driving a truck belonging to Oliver Harris, of Newton R.D. 3, along a dirt road parallel to the D. L. & W. R. R. and went over a 15 foot embankment landing on the tracks.

The truck lay crosswise on the tracks and could not be moved until a wrecker was called and the men drove to a point opposite the accident and pulled the truck back on its wheels. It was then necessary for the wrecker to back down the railroad track.

The truck was not badly damaged and the driver escaped unhurt.

State trooper Terrance Gillen, of Newton, investigated the accident.
