Cyril A. Cardinal, my maternal Grandfather died prematurely, sadly, at the age of 54, in a
horrible car accident East of Ryegate, VT, September 8, 1937, later transported to Cottage
Hospital, Haverhill, Woodsville, NH.
Two trucks carrying amusement park equipment were parked along the side of the road
changing a tire, when Cyril A., riding as a passenger in a Texaco Construction truck
collided into the back of the 2 parked, amusement equipment trucks. The impact caused the
amusement equipment to crash through the front windshild, into the passenger side, at head
level, hitting Cyril A.
The driver of the Texaco truck panicked and fled the scene, leaving Cyril lying on the
side of the road critically injured. The driver was found the next day in St. Johnsbury
by police, and was to be arraigned on careless and negligent driving resulting in a death.
