Police Reach Accident Scene Before It Actually Happens
Reno Evening Gazette Wednesday, May 7, 1941 pg. 1
RICHMOND, Calif.- May 7 UPI—
“Hurry to San Pablo and MacDonald avenues,” said the telephone voice. “The Santa Fe streamliner just hit a truck and a man is hurt pretty badly.” Police dispatched a squad car and ambulance to the address. There was no accident. The train hadn’t yet reached the scene. It did, though, just as the investigators were leaving. And just as a delivery truck driven by Randolph Bruce, forty-four, was on the crossing. Bruce is hurt pretty badly. He has a brain injury and a crushed chest.
