Wine and Beer Flow Freely on
Highway After Truck Crashes
Verily, an alcoholic haze cover
ed a large portion of Pacolet
Valley along the Asheville highway
Monday afternoon shortly past 4
p. m. The cause for this extra
sniffing of the tourist as well as
residents along the road was the
wreck of a heavily loaded beer
truck plying out of Asheville. The
truck loaded with a full cargo of
beer and wine failed to make a
sharp curve on the highway just
out of the city limits and crashed
into the guard fence demolishing
the truck as well as the fence and
spilling hundreds of bottles of beer
and wine on to the concrete.
Neither the driver nor the one
other occupant of the truck was
injured with the exception of a
few minor scratches. The wreck
still occupied half the highway at
a late hour Mbnday night and the
driver and helper were keeping
a watchful eye over the few bottles
of beverage that remained un
broken.—J. E. J.
