CART UPSET
Collision With Van
Breaking the shafts and bowling over the horse, a Post and Telegraph van driven by J. E. Parker, collided with a Hindu fruit hawker's cart at the Intersection of Waterloo Quay and Bunny Street at 5.30 p.m. yesterday. If any fruit was shed it was soon picked up, for none remained on the road half-an-hour after the mishap. The unfortunate horse, however, came off the worst, and had to be left on the road for quite a time, until the harness and the impedimenta were removed. Its injuries were only slight. The van was travelling northward along the Quay, and the hawker’s cart was turning from Bunny Street. The collision occurred in the middle of the road. The corner itself is one of the most poorly-lighted in the city, the nearest street light being 40 feet away.
