Surviving This Awful Wreck: A Photo of a Crashed Car in 1932 Found at the Boston Public Library

Wow. I'm pretty sure the people in this car didn't survive this awful wreck. This photo was taken in 1932 and we found it at the Boston Public Library. We believe this is the same intersection today on Google Street View.

Car crushed by trolley – North Hampton and Washington Sts.

I believe this is the same intersection today on Google Street View. The elevated portion over the car and trolley is no longer there, then known as Washington Street Elevated.
