A motorist driving between Warkworth and Wellsford passed the vehicle about a mile south of Wellsford, but gave it no attention as there was no sign of anyone about. Passing two workmen further along the road, he informed them of the overturned lorry and upon investigating they discovered Mr. Ramsbottom’s body beneath* the lorry.
