DRIVER RUN OVER
UNATTENDED LORRY CAMBRIDGE ACCIDENT (Special to Times) CAMBRIDGE, Monday This morning at about 8 o’clock a serious accident occurred at the garage of Cambridge Transport Limited, when a lorry ran over its driver, Mr Edward Thomas Stacey, married, of Carter’s Flat, Cambridge. Mr Stacey suffered severe injuries to the chest, and was removed to Waikato Hospital in the Cambridge ambulance. Stacey was in the act of cranking the engine when the lorry suddenly started forward. The heavy vehicle knocked him down in front of the wheels, and one wheel passed right over him. He was fortunately able to roll away from the path of the vehicle, and thus dodged the rear wheel. The unattended lorry gathered speed, and moved straight across the road to crash through the front fence of Mr V. G. Boulton’s property. The lorry was eventually brought to a standstill by a large cherry tree, standing about 15 yards inside the fence. The vehicle was not greatly damaged. It was reported this afternoon that the injured man’s condition was seri* OU£.
