Mail Tribune 100, June 9, 1915 The following news items were drawn from the archives of the Mail Tribune 100 years ago. Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Jun. 9, 2015 at 12:01 AM Posted Jun. 9, 2015 at 12:01 AM » Social News June 9, 1915 AUTO'S GLARING LIGHTS CAUSE OF SERIOUS ACCIDENT Mrs. J.L. Thorndike lies at Sacred Heart hospital suffering from a severe concussion of the brain, as the result of a motorcycle accident on North Riverside avenue Monday night when the machine on which she was riding crashed into a buggy. Mrs. Thorndike was riding in the rear seat and the driver was blinded by the headlights of an approaching automobile. Dr. R.J. Conroy was called and rendered medical assistance. Her condition was reported as serious, with a fighting chance for life. The matter was not reported to the police, Mrs. Thorndike and companion on one motorcycle, and two friends were upon another motorcycle. They were driving down the street side-by-side when the accident occurred. As a result of the accident, and the report to the authorities of several near-accidents, it is probable that the city council at its next meeting will take steps towards regulating lights on autos so that they will not be dazzling in their brightness. In many cities light dimmers are placed on all autos. According to Chief Hittson, many drivers on the Pacific Highway retire to the side of the road at the approach of an auto searchlight as a precautionary step.
