Pinned by Motor Speeder

While down at LaTouque, Quebec, unloading an alligator tug, Mr. James Peachey met with an accident.

As Mr. Peachey reported, he had delivered the tug and was on his way home, riding over a branch line of the C.N.R. on a motor speeder.

The speeder carried three men, and in some way one of the front wheels became disarranged, throwing the machine from the track.

The three men were thrown down an embankment close to the track.

The speeder also headed for the embankment, sliding down in the loose sand, and pinning Mr. Peachey beneath it.

Mr. Peachey said that his back was badly bruised, also his shin bones, and that he was very glad it was not more serious.
