Car Involved in an Accident with a Train, Perrysburg, Ohio, 1930-1945
Add to SetSummary
Automobiles are fast, powerful, and potentially dangerous. As more, ever-faster cars joined the American transportation landscape in the 20th century, accidents increased and damage to wrecked vehicles - which was sometimes beyond repair - became more commonplace. Eventually, manufacturers, governments, and drivers themselves were compelled to improve automotive safety.
