He was found by another, motorist who was on his way to Pal* merston North, and first noticed the smoke and then saw the victim lying beside the lorry. He was then unconscious, and when medical assistance came, was found to have several broken ribs, one of which had penetrated the lung. His condition last night was as well as could be expected.
