Hospital Porter Breaks Shoulder In Cycling Spill
When he hit a rough patch in the tarseal of Commerce Street near Bisley and Co’s premises on Friday night, Mr John Shannon, aged 29, single, hospital porter, fell off his bicycle and broke his right shoulder. \
Mr Shannon was going back to the hospital after the pictures, and he pulled over close to the kerb to let a car pass him when the accident happened. He lay semi-con-scious for some time before he could make his painful way to Dr G. H. Maaka’s surgery for treatment. Yesterday he was getting about with his arm in a sling but in satisfactory condition. Strange feature of the accident is that, though it happened at a time when both motor and pedestrian traffic was thick, no one seems to have noticed that the man was lying there in need of assistance.
