CROSSING SMASH
TRAIN HITS LORRY FOUR PASSENGERS DEAD. (A. & N.Z.) MELBOURNE, Mar. 26. A train crashed into a motor-truck when the latter was crossing the line at Ilrymple, near Mildura, killing William Beaumon, Ivy Moss, and Colin Pickell, and injuring three other passengers in the truck.
A later report states that Josephine Lamont is also dead, and the two others are in a critical condition.
The crossing is recognised as extremely dangerous as the view of approaching vehicles is obstructed. The train was a special. It is thought that Beaumon, who was driving the truck, was not aware that it was due.
