The Face of America: Relic of 90 M.P.H. On a spring night two months ago, five boys in a brand-new car hurtled along Route 202 in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at 90 m.p.h. Suddenly the car struck the road divider, bounced back across the highway into the guard-rail, and then smashed into a railroad-bridge abutment. James E. Knott, 18, and James R. Meyers, 16, seniors at the Ambler, Pennsylvania, High School, and Anthony S. Ciocca, 17, a former student there, were dashed to the roadbed and killed. The driver and owner of the car, Harry R. Shield, 20, died of his injuries five days later. Only James F. Serrao, 16, who was asleep in the back seat, survived. Knott's grief-stricken father urged that the wreckage be displayed as a warning to other youngsters at his son's school. The Ambler school board refused. Immediately, several other schools in the area arranged to show the mangled automobile to their students. Here, students of Plymouth-Whitemarsh High School review the grim memorial to the aftermath of a teen-age party. Photograph by Frank Ross. ..... 1957 Saturday Evening Post Picture, A5214A.
