Unwelcome Visitor

So you think it's safe to leave your car facing downhill with the brake applied and in reverse gear. So did Mr A. Wulff, of Orsman Crescent, but he doesn't think so now. He was moving behind the vehicle when it commenced to roll forward down the road, missed a parked car, hit a gate post, ran over a hedge, jumped a four-foot retaining wall and finally crashed into a house occupied by Mrs M. J. Nickless, 107 Emano Street. The van was loaded with paint and turps but fortunately it did not ignite.
