ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
Motor Truck's 150 ft Fall
Down Hillside.
NEAR TRAGEDY IN VICTORIA.
MELBOURNE, September 15.
Twenty-two people had remarkable escapes when a motor truck which was returning to-day from the snowfields on Mount Buffalo, north-eastern Victoria, fell 150 ft from a road down a hillside and capsized against some trees. Only four of the passengers were injured, the others receiving minor abrasions.
Medical attention was given to the injured people by two members of the British Medical Association, Drs. H. Upcott, of England, and Fitzgerald, of Dunedin, who were spending the weekend at the Buffalo Chalet.
