I which led him to believe that ] the car had been dragged from the ditch before re-entering the ditch for the second time From the scene of the accident he went to Littleton where a look at Richardson's car revealed that the frame of the car had been bent, powdery dust, apparently from the chipped concrete pipe was found, anil a bumper guard of the car had been loosened, probably by a chain or cable.
