A truck mishap tied-up traffic in Bridgewater Monday evening shortly after 6:00 o’clock. Apparently, the parking-brakes on a lumber-truck did not prevent the vehicle from moving forward, allowing it to block North Street by the “Cookville Irving” and strike a tree on the opposite side of the road. A “loader” was needed to remove the lumber off the truck before it could be moved. Members of the Northfield Fire Department received assistance from Bridgewater firefighters for traffic-control while New Germany fire-fighters remained on “standby” at the Northfield Fire Hall.
