A Motor Smash

On Wednesday afternoon about 2.30 p.m. a Ford Ton Van collided with a small Calthorpe car at the junction of Baldock Road.

The Calthorpe car, driven by a lady, was coming down the lane, and the Ford, driven by Mr Cecil Charles, of Cottered, was taking the turn towards Cottered.

Both the front wheels of the Ford were smashed off, and the radiator and wing badly damaged. The front off-side and the rear nearside tyres of the small car were torn off and the wing damaged.

Fortunately none of the occupants of the cars were hurt. Traffic was held up for some time.
