AMBULANCE DRIVER FINED
The driver of an ambulance, Jack Eric Kearns, was charged in the Lower Hutt Court yesterday with driving without due care and attention. The police stated that the defendant's ambulance had swung out to pass two cars on the main road at Taita, and as a result an Army lorry was forced to the.side of the road, struck a ditch, and overturned. The police did not claim that Kearns knew the truck had overturned, as there was no impact, but the ambulance did not stop. The defendant, who did not appear, was convicted and fined £2 10s and costs by Mr. A. M. Goulding, S.M.
