The year is 1963 - according to the license plate on the turned-over truck. The scene is the construction of one of the Interstate 75 overpasses around Bluffton. We don't have the specific information about this accident, but the photo reveals the following:
1 - Bluffton fire department responded. Truck number 2, a late 1930s-era Mack, is parked in the southbound lane. Is that Charles Swank of the fire department, talking the the man in the sunglasses?
2 - We assume this is the Bentley Road overpass. On the far right side of the picture you can barely make out the old Bluffton water tower and the Woodcock Plant smokestack.
We wecome other comments from viewers.
