HOLIDAY MOTOR ACCIDENTS.

Two Mishaps in Queen's

Whilst proceeding along Queen's Road West, near the junction of Hollywood Road, a Hong Kong Hotel bus, in attempt- ing to avoid a man, Keung Chee- lam (62), who was crossing the road, skidded and ran into pillar. The right front of the vehicle, however, struck the
