I.Dear Sir:
when going on the bridge, and with
mud on the tires and everything alip-
their car had a very strongly built
top or they would undoubtedly hav
been crushed.
The bridge where the car went off
does not have a railing, or the acci-
dent probably would not have occr-
red. It is felt that a bridge over a
creek so deep should have been pro-
vided with more protection to the
traveler. -
