PINNED UNDER TRUCK
MAN FATALLY INJURED (By Telegraph—Press Association). INVERCARGILL, July 5. Fatal injuries were received by Leslie Alphonses Dooley, a married man, aged 25, of Charles Street, Collingwood, when he was pinned beneath the body of a truck under which he was working. Mr Dooley was working on the lorry at the back of his house about 4.30 o’clock this afternoon. His wife thought she heard him drive away in the truck and was not unduly alarmed when he did not come in for a meal, but at 7 o’clock, when he had not come in, she went out to the yard, and found him caught under the body of the lorry. The vehicle was one of a type used for carting gravel, and Mr Dooley was apparently working underneath it with the body of it raised when the back collapsed and fell on him.
