Terrell, Mr. and Mrs. George – In one of the worst grade crossing accidents in the history of the county, two people lost their lives and four others were injured. Mr. and Mrs. George Terrell, of Lanesboro, are dead and their three-year-old son is in serious condition at the Barnes Memorial hospital in Susquehanna. In company with George Romanine and Lewis O’Dell, of Johnson City, the family was en route to Binghamton, where Mr. Terrell expected to establish a new home. Romaine was driving the touring car.
Work on the state road in Lanesboro necessitates a detour for a short distance and the crossing is on this detour adjacent to the railroad station. The lay of the land prevents a view of the tracks in either direction. As Romaine drove his car on the tracks the motor stalled and the fast freight caught the car broadside and hurled it many feet. The little boy was thrown from the machine and through a large window into the waiting room of the station. He suffered a compound fracture of the right leg; his left side was crushed and he sustained cuts of the head and face.
Mr. Terrell was killed instantly and Mrs. Terrell died in the hospital on Monday morning. Mr. Terrell was forty-five years of age and his wife was twenty-eight. Romaine was badly cut, his left cheek being severed from the corner of his mouth to his ear and a part of his ear was torn away. O’Dell was less seriously injured. Edmund Monell, of Lanesboro, temporary watchman at the crossing, was struck by the car as it was hurled through the air and he was painfully injured. Coroner Lyons is making an investigation.
