ASLEEP WHILE DRIVING!

SMASH ON CASTLE

PEAK ROAD

LORRY AND AN OMNIBUS

"I think defendant had fallen asleep while driving his lorry," aid Traffle Inspector Saunders at the Kowloon Magistracy this morning in charging Hon Ping, a lorry driver, bofore Mr. Len, with dangerous driving.

Inspector Saunders said. the charge against the defendant was the result of a serious accident which occurred at 5 p.m. on Satur duy. Defendant, who was driving lorry No. 364, was going along Chatte Peak Road, and a bus, No. 89, was being driven in the opposito direction. The bus driver' would say that he saw the lorry upproaching at a fairly fast speed, about 25 miles an hour. Botli vehicles were on the correct side of the road.

THE COLLISION.

As the two vehicles were 'draw- ing near each other, it was alleged that defondnet swerved obliquely across the road, straight n the bus. Startiod, the bus driver sounded his horn, and defendant was then seen to straighten out the forry, but it continued its course. The bus driver swerved to the right to prevent a head-on collision, but could not avoid the lorry altogether. The lorry crash- ed into the loft side of the bas, sending the steps high up in the air and smashing the front axles of both vehicles.

"It is one of the worst smashes Jhave secn," added Inspector Saunders. "Nobody was seriously injured, but four people received minor injuries.".
