He barely got his team off the track, the car safely missing the outfit by about six inches, as the car left the track. The safety device lodged against the curb and formed a bridge over which the car passed, crashing through the kitchen of a house occupied by a family named Stroud. A little boy had just left the kitchen and was on the rear steps outside, and was thrown violently to the ground.

The front of the car was telescoped, Motorman Christie's head being crushed to a pulp, death being instant.
