Title

Truck accident in front of Suomi Cafe (Papermill Corner)

Description

Several photographs of a fire scene in Maynard in front of the Suomi Cafe, across the street from the Tydol service station on the corner of Waltham Street and Parker Street (aka Papermill Corner). The line of cars on the left is the traffic on Powdermill Road heading North.

The group of men are hosing down spilled diesel fuel (no fire). Donald Braydon is 7,8th from left in the photos.

The truck sppears to have tipped over while turning from Waltham Street on to Parker Street.

The cafe was demolished and replaced with an apartment building ca 2010.

(Guessing date based on the cars on the street and the lack of traffic lights)
