Mr Herbert Goodin, a farmer, was cycling into town and when opposite Mr E. Williams's residence, he crossed the road •in front of an oncoming motor lorry, laden with sheep. He was struck by the lorry and thrown heavily to the road, receiving very serious injuries to his right shoulder and right arm and abrasions on the face. The lorry was driven by Mr W. A.
