2 MEN ESCAPE INJURY AS TRAIN HITS TRUCK Two men escaped serious injury yesterday when their 10-ton truck and a freight train collided at Front and Spruce streets. The truck, loaded with eight tons of paper rolls, was overturned. It was part way across the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks on Front street when struck by a string of loaded coal cars being pushed by a locomotive. John E. Horay, 322 Penn street, the driver, and Curtis Taylor, Jr., 1468 Kaighn avenue, son of the owner of the truck, climbed out, apparently unhurt but shaken up.
