The Chicago and Northwestern train No.110, popularly called the "Flambeau" 
struck a car that was across an Angelica town road crossing, killing the driver immediately and completely demolishing the car. Engineer Andy Shaffer of Green Bay said the accident occurred at exactly 5:00 yesterday afternoon. He had just looked at his watch before the engine struck the car. 

Driver of the car was Clarence Alfred Ahlgrimm, 44, of the town of Pella. He 
had been employed by the Graf Creamery as a cheese maker for the past 6 months, and was making his home with the Albert Grafs. He was not married.

At the time of the accident he was heading toward the creamery to pick up Graf with whom he contemplated making a fishing trip. Both fishing and camping equipment were found in the car. Ahlgrimm was travelling north on the Town of Angelica road that crosses the railroad right-of-way a quarter mile east of Zachow. His 
car was already astride the tracks when the train struck it to the rear of the left front fender. The forward part of the car was thrown approximately 45 feet to the northeast of the track. Ahlgrimm's body was found 120 feet from the crossing. 

The rear section of the car was carried a quarter of a mile down the track to 
the point where the train came to a halt after the accident. A part of the wreckage was found lodged between the carriage Wheels and the first set of drive wheels under the engine. The carriage wheels jumped the track and carried along for some distance, shearing off the rail spikes as they went forward.

There were 600 passengers on the fast vacation train. It was headed east toward Green Bay on the first leg of its journey to Chicago. Conductor P.L. Raidy of Fond du Lac was in charge. Its departure time from Shawano is 4:39 PM. The west and north bound Flambeau is due here at 5:39 but was held up in Pulaski for 4 hours while the wreckage was cleared away. A section crew was called to repair the damaged road bed. A wrecker came from Green Bay to return the derailed wheels to the track and escort the train into Green Bay. 

County traffic Officer Victor Hellestad and county coroner Harvey Stubenvoll investigated the accident. They noted that a corn field on the left hand side as Ahlgrimm approached the tracks might have obstructed his vision but the cleared section of the right-of-way seemed quite wide. 

Ahlgrimm's body was taken to the Freimuth Funeral Home in Bonduel. No arrangements have been made for the funeral. The accident was the 15th in the county for the year of 1946.
