Poitiers, October 24. -- A truck driven by Mr. Prillon, a hardware merchant from Thénezay (Deux-Sèvres), who was accompanied by Mr. Dribault, was traveling last night near Chalandray (Vienne), when suddenly the two men saw a bright light of various colors emitted, they thought, by a flying saucer.
The driver, dazzled and having lost control of the steering, the vehicle crashed into a tree along the roadside. The two occupants were slightly injured. The truck suffered significant damage.
