Description
A view of the wreckage following a collision between a street car and a truck. The front of the street car is dented and scratched and the windows are broken. The truck is no longer recognizable as a vehicle, with the body completely destroyed and the engine laying exposed on the tracks. A crowd of men watch as workers attach chains to remove the truck wreckage from the tracks. A billboard in the background reads "Hollywood Knolls ; Homesites $1500 up".
Library has two copies of this print.
