Car crash into tree AND overturned truck

CreatorWIN Television (Television station : Illawarra, N.S.W.)ContributorMitchellLloydHill, DavidPetney, FrancisMasterson, SergeantDate11 July 1967DescriptionTwo men, in two separate accidents, narrowly escaped serious injury, in what can only be described as freak accidents. On the Picton Road this morning a car ran off a straight stretch of road into a tree. The motorist, 44 year old Francis Petney of Mount Ousley, was seriously injured in the accident, but is recovering rapidly in Wollongong Hospital. Late yesterday afternoon, a truck driver narrowly escaped injury when his heavy lorry overturned on the Wollongong Breakwater. He was tipping a heavy boulder onto the breakwater when it caught in the truck's tray and rolled the truck over. Only a few feet saved the driver from plunging into the harbour with his truck.
