LORRY DRIVER'S ORDEAL
INQUEST OPENED.
An inquest concerning the death of Vivian George Fuller, who, with a young man named John Davies, was found pinned underneath a capsized motor lorry on the road between Copmanhurst and Baiyulgil on April 17, was opened by the District Coroner, Mr. S. J. Bliss, P.M., at Copmanhurst yesterday morning. Samuel Powell Lloyd, storekeeper, at Copmanhurst, said that whilst returning from Winegrove to Copmanhurst, via Kettle Creek, in his Ford truck at about 12.12 p.m. on April 17, he noticed a Bedford truck, owned by a man named Tranter, overturned on the road with its wheels uppermost. Witness had a look round and saw the two feet of the deceased (Fuller) protruding from underneath an overturned lorry. On the other side of the overturned vehicle he saw the boy Davies, with his body, shoulders and head protruding from underneath the lorry.
