A fatal accident occurred in Pembroke road,Canton,Cardiff this morning.Timothy Crimmins ,aged 30, a haulier,of 76,Ethel Street,was taking a load of swedes out of the yard.The horse started,and Crimmins followed behind,endeavouring to get over the back of the cart,as the lane leading into Pembroke road was too narrow for him to get to the horse's head.At last he got on the cart,and whilst apparently trying to get on the shafts he fell off,in consequence of the horse swerving.The wheel went over his head,and the man died whilst being conveyed for medical attendance.
