Collision With Steam Shovel – Well-Known Barrister Killed
Wellington, September 10
When the car he was driving along the Western Hutt Road collided with a Public Works Department steam shovel shortly before 7 o’clock on Saturday night, John Campbell Peacock, a well-known barrister and solicitor of Wellington, received head injuries which resulted in his death in hospital an hour-and-a-half later. The other occupants of the car, Mrs Margaret Peacock, Miss Margot Peacock and Mrs J.W.G. Brodie, were not injured.
The steam shovel was being towed along the road by a motor truck, with a second motor truck following immediately behind to give more light. The car passed the first motor truck and collided with the steam shovel, the footboard around the vehicle about five feet from the ground breaking through the windscreen and striking the deceased on the head.
