- Scope and Content
- Photographs of a automobile accident on Iona Road near Dutton, which claimed the lives of Ralph Welch and Billie Rick.
Caption from St. Thomas Times-Journal: "Big Truck in Death Plunge on Dunwich Road: Fragment of Burnt Cotton Jersey Serves to Identify Boy Victim as Billy Rick."
2_3133: "The bog five-ton coal delivery truck that carried Ralph Welch, driver, and his little companion, to their deaths, on the Iona Road, about a mile east of Dutton, about 12:30 o'clock, Thursday noon, overturned and literally flattened out in the northeast corner of a field on Russell Miller's farm, after striking the soft soil of the shoulder on the north side of the road, at the bottom of a little grade, to swerve sharply across the road and crash through a wire fence. The front of the truck body apparently grazed the trunk of the small tree against which a boy may be seen leaning, evidently causing the truck to completely overturn, all four wheels in the air. The driver is believed to have got into difficulties as he reached the brow of the grade as the rear part of the box was found on the embankment at the south side of the road."
2_3134: "A picture of the truck immediately after it was righted by a wrecking truck from Wallacetown. Only the cab and the front part of the truck were burned by the flaming gasoline pouring from the tanks under the truck. The two bodies, horribly burned, were in the seat of the cab. Looking into the cab is Provincial Constable Harold MacDonald, of St. Thomas, who investigated the terrible accident; while Coroner Dr. M. B. Graham, of Dutton, is seen to the extreme left in the forefront. Dr. Graham was one of the first to reach the scene. No person actually witnessed the accident."
2_3136: "Billie Rick."

1_1777: “This picture shows what the front end of George Casey’s motor car looked like after its bout with C. & O. freight locomotive at the Main street crossing in Dutton Friday morning. Mr. Casey, on his way in from Wallacetown to Dutton with the mail, ran his car onto the crossing as the train came along. The locomotive sheared off the front end of the car almost as far back as the windshield, then spun the car around and damaged its rear end. Mr. Casey escaped with a shaking up and a few bruises. The portion of the hood ripped off from the car can be seen at the [right] of the photo.”

2_2515: “It wasn’t ready for the dump heap, but that’s where this 1935 Dodge would up late last evening at the bottom of the Palm street fill near the banks of Mill Creek. It’s owner, a St. Thomas Brewers’ Warehouse truck driver, had been visiting friends on Mabel street Monday evening and left the car standing at the curb. When he came out, the car was gone. It had taken off of its own accord and traveled down the steep grade to the west and over the north side of the Palm street fill in the ravine, rolling over and over down the steep, brush-covered embankment. There its rueful owner finally found it, surveyed it resting upside down and left it until Tuesday morning before doing anything about getting it out of there.”

- Photographs of a car accident and a gathering crowd in front of the Teeter service station in Eagle.
Caption from St. Thomas Times-Journal, April 19, 1952, page one: “Scene of Mishaps at Eagle.”
2_576: “This was scene in Eagle late Friday afternoon of a series of accidental occurrences which culminated in the death in Memorial Hospital of H. Benton Goodbrand, 46, of Toronto. Looking east, this view takes in the driveway in front of the Teeter service station where the trouble started when Harry Gallagher, 86, of West Lorne, drove into the service station property and rammed a tractor (at the left in the photo), then veered off the right and came to a stop at the edge of the highway. The Gallagher car appears in the centre-left foreground. The tractor knocked a gas pump off its base and gasoline from the tractor’s broken tank took fire. While men at the service station were fighting the fire, Harry Kell, 66, of Rondeau, drove by going east of the service station when a westbound car driven by Goodbrand rammed head on into him. Their wrecked car are shown at the right in the photo where they came to rest in the middle of the highway. Goodbrand, not apparently seriously injured, died of a heart attack just after he arrived in Memorial Hospital for an examination. Kell, also brought to the hospital, was seriously injured and his condition is “just fair” today.”
