Unusual Accident – Thrown from Horse on Stowey Road
A somewhat singular accident occurred about 9:30 on Monday morning, at the Stowey Road, when Bert Tovey (16), of Maynard Terrace, Clutton, was riding a horse in the direction of Stowey. Approaching him in the opposite direction was a stem sentinel waggon, belonging to Messrs. Mags, of Clutton, which was being driven by James Rogers. It is presumed that the engine of the wagon emitting steam caused the horse to take fright. Tovey was thrown from the horse into the roadway, with the result that the rear off wheel of the lorry went over his left foot, squashing it badly.
The driver of the wagon and his mate, rendered all the assistance they could to the injured lad, and having been surgically attended to by Dr. T. Martin, of Temple Cloud, he was conveyed to the Bristol Royal Infirmary and detained.
