GERALDTON. Sun.-- On a lonely stretch of the road to Carnarvon, about 75 miles north of Northampton, an elderly Perth couple were killed in a motor accident this morning.
They were John Ballantyne (64). and Eva Ballantyne (59) of Royal-street, Tuart Hill, who with their son, John Lindsay Ballantyne (25). were travelling south in their car. It is believed that the car struck a patch of loose sand, got out of control and turned over. The accident was discovered by a haulage contractor Mr. Frank Porter of Northampton who was going to Carnarvon. Shortly afterwards a taxi driver arrived at the scene and brought the son to Northampton Hospital. He is suffering from an injury to the pelvis and as there is no doctor in Northampton he will be brought to Geraldton tomorrow. Constable W. O'Hern of Northampton, left that town at 5 p.m. for the scene of the accident to make investigations and brought the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Ballantyne to the mortuary at the Victoria District Hospital shortly before midnight.
