FATALLY INJURED.
Small Child Run Over by Father’s Lorry. Per Press Association. HASTINGS, This Day. A twenty months’ old child, the son of Mr George Frederick Reeves, a carrier, of Haumoana, near Hastings, was fatally injured yesterday through being caught under one of the wheels of the lorry which Mr Reeves was moving about on the lawn at the back of his house. Mr Reeves had been washing and cleaning the lorry. The child when he last noticed him was playing at a chopping block a few yards away. Mr Reeves had occasion to move the vehicle and he did not suspect that the child had come anywhere near. He felt a bump as the vehicle moved. On getting out he saw the little boy lying under the near side back wheel. The child was taken to Hastings Memorial Hospital and died there a little while after its admittance.
