Crashed Through A Brick Wall
MOTOR-LORRY’S SOLO RUN Refusing to “stay put” in Clark Brothers’ store, a heavy motor-lorry bolted across Drake Street yesterdayafternoon, knocked a hole in the brick wall opposite, and hung precariously over the City Council yards in Freeman’s Bay. But at the last long drop, it baulked as though it realised it couldn’t go on without injuring itself. The lorry had been drawn up in Clarke Brothers’ store in Drake Street, and carried a load of boxes. The brakes apparently failed to hold, and when no one was looking it sneaked out down the grade on a little jaunt of its own. For two hours navvies and motorlorries strove with the derelict, and about 6 o’clock she was placed back on the road not very much the worse for the accident.
