TRUCK OVERTURNS
MEN IMPRISONED IN CAB ESCAPE FROM INJURY Two men had a reinarkablo escape from injury yesterday afternoon when the truck in which they were driving overturned on the Morrinsville-Hamil-ton main highway, near Motumaoho. The truck, which was laden with young pigs, entered a ditch on leaving the road and turned completely over, the pigs scurrying in all directions. The two men were imprisoned in the cab, but a following motorist and another man who was passing managed to pull them out uninjured. Most of the pigs were not hurt. Two men have been arrested and will appear in the Morrinsville Police Court this morning.
