MELBOURNE, May 6. A loaded motor bus collided with a market gardener’s motor lorry, at a street intersection, near Parliament House. The bus was overturned. Three men and sixteen women were injured, mostly not seriously. The bus had its roof wrenched off, and plate glass windows smashed. The occupants were spilled on the roadway, and the wonder is that the casualties were not more serious.
