MOTOR-TRUCK FATALITY
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
DUNEDIN, June 9
A waterside worker, George Charles Amas, aged 31, was killed on Saturday afternoon when a motor-truck in which he was riding went over a bank near Roseneath on the Dunedin-Port Chalmers road. The truck left the road at a steep bend and rolled about 60 feet before coming to rest at the bottom of the bank. Amas, who was dead when the police arrived, had apparently been thrown ■ clear, as he was lying a short distance from the truck. Miles Middleditch, driver of the truck, escaped with minor injuries.
