The accident occurred on the return journey , after passing the corner near Mr. Morgan's shop . The car was travelling on the low speed , when the spokes of the right back wheel gave way . The wheel flew over the hedge , the car turned over on its right side , throwing the occu- pants out of the car . one being thrown clean over the hedge . Three of the occupants luckily escaped with only a severe shaking and minor cuts and bruises . Mr. Dekin , however , sustained slight concussion , and was Lewis . of the R.M.R.E. , Monmouth , who passed just after the accident . Mr. Reg Holder , who was badly cut and shaken , was conveyed home in Dr. Green's car . Dekin is progressing as well as can be ex- brought into Ross in a brake by Corpl D. pected .
