Some of those look terrible and likely someone was killed. Others look like a bit of work could fix it right up.
The first picture in interesting. The woman at the top of the bank looks like she is pulling the car with a rope. The men are either standing around or look like they are trying to push the car. I think they will need a tow truck to get it out. Don't know how the wheels are.

Said every kid that dented dads car. Why do I think that in photo number 3 that a fire is coming soon.

The car on the left in the third photo is a L-head Mercer Raceabout.

The sixth picture from the top must be Donnie’s wrecked speedster before he rebuilt it with the four valve Rajo. In a need for more speed, next he will move up to a eight valve Rajo.

Several have step plates installed. Serves ‘em right, huh Larry ! Great pics. I instantly thought of Donnie Brown and his bug, too.

A close up of the nearly new 1917 So Cal Edison Ford that hit the 1913 Hudson. The house directly behind the Hudson still exists, at the intersection of Sunset and Gallardo in East LA.

I got a call last night from my good friend, Larry "Original" Smith to tell me that I needed to look at Tom Rootlieb's post titled "Mishap Monday" and to pay special attention to the photos 25, 26, 27, and 28 showing a moderately bashed T Touring car.
He said that there was an early type concrete street name post in one of the photos clearly showing the names of the streets that comprise that intersection.
I went to the post and found the series of photos Larry was referring to. Bigger than life, there it was, Artesia and Atlantic Ave. This puts this intersection right in the city of Long Beach, California. About 4 miles from where I'm writing this post.
Also seen in this series of photos are a couple of large draft horses and what looks to be a mid-20s vintage International Truck. That's about it.
I don't have the knowledge to screen shot from Google Maps, but I can assure you that this intersection, although still there, appears very different today.
Thanks for pointing this out to me Larry, and thank you Tom for continuing to post these terrific photos. Keep them coming please.

Mike.
