CRUSHED BY TRUCK
LITTLE BOY KILLED TRAGEDY IN RAILWAY YARDS * Press Association INVERCARGILL. Saturday. A tragedy occurred at the Centre Bush railway station yesterday afternoon when Ronald George Whelan, the two-year-old son of the railway porter stationed there, received fatal injuries through being run over by a truck in the station yard. The boy with two elder brothers was playing in the yard while his father and two other men were engaged in moving some loaded trucks. One was allowed to go free, and they were about to push other trucks in the same direction when one of the elder boys called out that Ronald was under the truck. The child was discovered with a truck wheel over the lower part of his body. Medical aid was summoned, but the boy died shortly afterwards.
