TRAMCAR OVERTURNS
Twenty people were injured when a London tramcar overturned and crashed into a garage because of a defect in the track due to contraction of the wooden road blocks owing to frost. The car left the, metals in front of the garage, swung across the road, rocked, and then overturned. Pedestrians, including a woman with a peramulator, stepped clear just before the trnnicar fell.
Although the driver escaped injury, the conductor, Mr. A. E. Payne, of Wembley, was thrown through a window and fell, severely injured, to the pavement.
