Original Toronto Star caption: Giving first aid to passengers injured in the car-train crash on St. clair Ave. E.; Gordon Glover broke his leg-and didn't know it. He hasn't had any feeling in his right leg and left arm since he got polio as a medic in World War II; and didn't feel anything when he slipped on the tracks. It wasn't until yesterday; when the leg was badly swollen; that he went to hospital and discovered it was broken.
