EXCITEMENT ON PRAYA.
There was considerable excite- ment on the Praya yesterday when a motor lorry toppled into the har |bour.
It was being driven by Wan Shing, a licensed driver, at the time of the mishap. After de- livering some cargo at a godown in Connaught Road West, the driver was backing the lorry in order to turs, when the foot brake falled to work,
Before the driver could apply the hand brake. the lorry had reached the edge of the Praya wall, and toppled into the harbour with the driver still at the wheel, The driver was lucky to fall clear of the lorry, as it hit the water, so that he suffered nothing more serious than Immersion.
The lary sank to the bottom. where it remained for some hours before it was hauled out under the direction of the Police Traffic Department. It was not badly damaged.
The spot at which the lorry fell into the harbour is practical ly opposite the junction of East- ern Street.

As he was going to pass Mr. King's car, a bus appeared, going up the hill.
A Lucky Intervention. Defendant completely lost his head on seeing the bus and, swerving, ran his lorry into the back of Mr. King's car. Luckily. censed driver was beside the on the

Mr. King added that the road WAS wide enough for three vehicles, and if defendant had been a competent driver he would have kept his course and every- thing would have been all right.
Mr. Lindsel imposed a fine of $10 on the first count and $5 on the other.
Collision Averted.' Mr. King was complainant in another case in which the Chin ese driver of a public motor car was summoned for negligent driv- ing in Stubbe Road. Defendant pleaded "guilty."

He (Mr. King) had to stop his car to avoid a collision.
A fine of $20 was imposed.
