FIRE ENGINE, TAXI, CAR IN WEST END CRASH
A fire engine, a private car and a taxi-cab collided recently at night in crowded Shaftesbury Avenue, a few yards from Piccadilly Circus, but the only person injured, the taxi driver, had a slight cut.
The fire engine knocked down an iron post on a re- fuge and after being in collision with the other two vehicles went on the pavement and struck a wall of the London Pavilion.
Hundreds of people gathered and blocked the street while police reinforcements and ambulances were sent for.
