A CLOSE SHAVE
LORRY OUT OF CONTROL As Mrs. J. Morton came out of a ©hop in Trafalgar Street, Onehunga, at ten o’clock yesterday morning, she heard a lorry-driver frantically shouting at her. She just managed to get out of the way of the lorry, which dashed across the footpath and into the plate-glass windows of a vacant shop next door. The windows and frames on both sides of the doorway were completely shattered, and the tiles were ripped off the brickwork of the front walls under the windows. The lorry, which was being driven by Sydney, H. Gregory, is owned by Air. W. I*. Casey, of Beaumont Street, Freeman’s Bay, and was on its way to Onehunga with a load of timber. Proceeding downhill in Trafalgar Street, the half-inch bolt connecting the steering rods worked loose, and fell out, the driver thereby losing control.
