Sydney, May 31. Three rnen and a woman were killed in one of the worst level crossing accidents ever recorded in New South Wales. Late last night an eleetric train crashed into a motor-car at the Warwick Farm crossing. The bodies of the victims were tossed past the signal box over the platform into a gully. The woman and one man were killed instantly. The other two men survived only a few minutes. The car was smashed to fragments and the leading carriage of the train derailed. Thus far only two men — Pierce Clark (36) and Cedric Scott (24) — have been identified. Although the scene of the tragedy is well lit, and there are many signals warning motorists of the crossing, a number of people have been killed there in recent vears.
