>From Charleroi Mail, Saturday, May 6, 1944, Page 1: "Four Injured in Bus, Truck Passing Crash Belle Vernon Troopers Cover Bad Mishap at Large; Hold Trucker Four persons were injured and damage totaling $815 was caused yesterday when a passenger bus and a truck sideswiped along Route 51 near Large. Troopers from North Belle Vernon barracks investigated and declared that the operator of the truck, a boy of 17, and his employer would be arrested for violation of the state motor code. Albert NAUGLE, 17, of Hazelwood, was driving the truck which belongs to Collins & Schweinberg of Homestead Park. NAUGLE and the senior partner of his firm will face charges for permitting the 17-year-old boy to drive a truck. John KIKEL, 30, of Willock, was operating the bus. Passengers who were hurt include Frank BOST, Elizabeth, R.D., who received fractured ribs; Henrietta RECK, Pittsburgh, R.D. No. 11, suffered a sprained back and dislocated left wrist; Harold S. SOLTAN, Pittsburgh, received an injury to the back and shoulder and was taken to West Penn Hospital. Driver KIKEL was also injured. They were treated by doctors who reside nearby. According to the troopers' report, NAUGLE had passed the bus which was stopped further down the highway. In passing the bus as it started on its way NAUGLE is said to have made a motion indicating he was going to make a right turn. Instead he turned left and the two machines sideswiped with considerable force. They ran along the road a short time before stopping. The crash occurred at 9:15 a.m. but it was later in the day that officers at Belle Vernon barracks were notified. Damage of $750 was done to the bus, they declared."
