RUNAWAY MOTOR CAR.
i ■ J Never leave a motor car without putting the brakes on. A motorist on Landscape Road, Epsom, did so yester- ' day afternoon. He walked away to attend to something else, and before he • could get back the car went for a cruise on its own account. This road has quite 3 a perceptible grade, and the motor car backed out of the garage by gravitation, gathered way as it went down hill, crashed into a fence, and when pulled out was found to have its mud-guards smashed and other minor injuries, which necessitated a trip to the repair shop.
