Buick motorcar in ditch along Spanish Town road

"A grave situation: when last did you have the opportunity to really study the underside of a car? You will have missed a good chance if they move this one today. The men (of all ages) at left, took advantage of the situation yesterday and got a closeup view of the bottom this Buick motorcar which ended inside this seven foot deep excavation along the Spanish Town Road at Bumper Hall last Sunday night. There has been no report of injuries to the driver who was rescued by a group of boys. Neither was it determined yesterday which agency was responsible for leaving such a hole in the road or whether preventative measures were in force. Water Commission Secretary Manage S.W. Parke said last night the trench could have been dug by the Water Commission bu he would have to check that today."
