At the time of the accident, he had noticed the driver of the run- away worry standing in the cab stili at the wheel. The runaway vehicle overtook him while at a speed of 35 or 30 m.ph. The gun carriage" behaved normally and began wok- bling only after it had passed his lorry. He saw the rubber tire on the wheel of the carriage Ay off in pieces.
Witness stated that it was easy to hook up the gun to the truck and, in his opinion, the coupling to his gun-carriage was a much. better at than the U-shackle.
