Saplenza was coming out of a drive- way at ‘the side of a house half way between Lazy Lane and the Plainville town line, and falled to see the trol-; ley approaching from Lazy Lane, tound for Plainville. The view on either side of the driveway is unob- structed for about seven feet, but there is a row of lilac bushes on the eide from which the trolley approach- es, and with the rain which was fall- ing, it is thought that the truck driv- er's vision was obscured. o Truck Badly Damaged. The trolley car Wwas driven by Mo- torman Thomas Heslin of this city and was coming along at a good rate of speed.
