3 KILLED, SCORE HURT IN TROLLEY CAR CRASH FREIGHT-LADEN TROLLEY GRINDS ITS WAY THROUGH PASSENGER CAR NEAR NORTH SEWICKLEY, PA. Special to The Inquirer. ELLWOOD CITY, Pa., June 23. --Three persons were killed, two others were probably fatally injured, and more than a score were hurt when a fast Pittsburgh, Harmony, Butler and New Castle trolley freight car crashed into and telescoped a heavily-loaded passenger car on the Harmony line at North Sewickley, two miles north of here, today. A dense fog and conflicting signals are said to have been responsible for the wreck. The dead men are Frank Dauffer, forty-five years old, Samuel Adams, sixty-five years old, and Joesph Runyan, forty-five years old, all of North Sewickley. They were crushed almost beyond recognition. Dauffer and Runyan lived a short time after the accident, but Adams was dead when taken out of the wreckage. The man had just boarded the car at North Sewickley stop, being en route to work here, when the freight car, suddenly appearing around a sharp bend, crashed into the stopped interurban car and virtually ground its way through a mass of broken woodwork and humanity. Injured were thrown out of the splintered car and along the tracks as the speeding freight car pushed the passenger car down the tracks for almost one hundred feet. Three of the injured lost arms and legs in the accident and amputated limbs made the sight gruesome as rescuers hacked at the wreckage to release others. Six of the injured are in the Elwood Hospital. [Source: Philadelphia Inquirer, June 24, 1916, Transcribed by C. Anthony]
