BUS MEETS TIMPRESSIONS OF TRAVEL

LORRY IN

ON BURMA ROAD HEAD-ON SMASH

Some 20 passengers, in a No. 3 bus had a pasty experience yester day evening, during the rush hour, when the vehicle came in collision head-on with a fully-laden, lorry In Queen's Road Central, at the junction of Pottinger Street, hot tar from the China Emporium.

Picture's taken after the colusion, (King's Studio).

The force of the impact was so

great that several coolles, wh were on the lorry, No. 2243, were thrown into the street, fortunately without injury to any of them.

The driver of the truck jumped off in the nick of tinie as otherwise he would have sustained serious injury, the entire driving cab havng been completely smashed in.”

The bus, on the other hand, got off lightly, the presence of mind of the driver having contributed in no small way to this. None of the passengers was injured although many of them were badly shaken. The bus, No. 494, was travelling towards its destination in Happy Valley shortly after five o'clock and the lorry was tavelling in the opposite direction when the ac cident occurred.
