Damage to a Tacoma Transit Co. bus after a night time car-bus accident. Firemen and workers took almost an hour to cut the driver of the car, identified as Alfred H. Bonwell - a 30 year old soldier attached to the 325th Headquarters squadron, McChord Air Force Base, out of the wreckage of his late model station wagon. Three other persons were injured. A traffic jam followed as vehicles were diverted for two hours. To the left of the photo is Lemon & Son Mobil Service Station at 6447 South Tacoma Way, and to the right is Conley's Grocery at 6601 South Tacoma Way. The bus has struck the utility pole in front of Conley's. A group of men stand and stare at the accident from in front of the service station. (TNT 3/21/1951, pg. 1)
