As the result of a traffic acci dent which occurred at 11.30 p.m. last night at the corners of Arsenal Street and Johnston Road, Mrs. Hannon Scott, of No. 5 Morrison Gap Road, died from head injuries.

Mrs. Scott was sitting in the side-car, from which she was thrown out, receiving in- juries to the head. She was rushed to the Government Civil Hospital, but died on the way.
