The Horsham Times (Vic. : 1882 - 1954) Fri 23 Jul 1937 Page 4 MAN HURLED INTO DRAIN.
Last week Mr. W. Tangey, of Stawell, suffered extensive head injuries when he was suddenly hurled from his bicycle into a concrete drain near Marnoo. Unconscious when his plight was discovered, he was taken to the home of First Constable: Orr, where first aid treatment was administered. Shockingly battered about the head, his condition was critical when he was rushed into Stawell and admitted to the hospital. He regained consciousness some hours afterwards. Mr Tangey,who is a road overseer, was engaged in adjusting lights for traffic purposes when he saw a motor car approaching. Momentarily dazzled by the head lights he suddenly lost control of his bearings, and, leaving the road, the bicycle , carried him down a slight incline and hurled him head first into a concrete drain. He sustained a broken nose, severe lacerations to the upper lip requiring several stitches. extensive cuts and bruises about the face and forehead, and a badly cut mouth.
