As Beatrice got off a streetcar and walked around the rear end, she was struck and "almost instantly killed by a truck". (She was killed) The accident occurred at Bryn Mawr and Crawford Avenues (today Crawford leads directly into Pulaski Rd). Louis Benson, 5109 West North Avenue, driver of the truck said he applied the breaks at once but could not avoid hitting the girl.
