Many Motorists Disregard Danger Signs On Highways Indianapolis, Oct, 25 —(Special)— Disregard by tho drivers of high powered cars of danger signs, red lights and warning signals—even har-| ricades —where contractors close al road for construction or a bridge fori repairs, are the cause of numerous 1 serious accidents on state highways,! John D. Williams, director of the. highway commission, said today. Mr. Williams cited a recent accident on the Boot Jack or State Road No. 25 in the vicinity of Michigan City, where a Chicago car occupied by six people crashed through a barricade at a bridge, passed danger signs and red lights, and plunged onto the bridge from which the floor had been removed, to leap in a nose dive to the stream bed below, as an example. Very fortunately, strange to say. no one was seriously, hurt. However,! this a miracle, for ordinarily such an accident results in death or severe injury. In this case, Mr. Williams explained, the contractor removed the bridge floor,, built a run-around to care for] traffic, and was preparing the raze the old bridge to supplant it with a modern structure. At the last cross reads near the bridge, a stop sign had been erected, and near the bridge a barricade constructed from which was displayed red lights. A last precau tion was an 8-inch steel channel wired across the end of the bridge. In spite of these warning signs the auto was driven into the bridge, slid across the joists of the first span, across the middle pier and plunged through the secend span to the earth below. A particularly hazardous grade crossing exists cn the Lincoln Highway near Bailrytowa, where the New York Central railroad is to build an overhead, and the commission is determined that th public b" safeguard- < d in every possible way, Mr. Williams rays. In fact the commission insists
