Ferret Accident

[Wayne Henderson]

Quote from "The West Australian" newspaper,

"War vehicle, train collide.

A World War II armoured scour car vehicle crashed into a freight train
travelling at 100km/h in the Wheatbelt yesterday afternoon, blocking
the line for several hours and causing delays to rail services.
The 47 year old driver of the wartime vehicle suffered serious injuries
when he tried to cross the railway line at Walgoolan, 20 km east of
Merriedin, at 3.30pm.
The 1.5km long freight train knocked the armoured vehicle off the railway
line and into a culvert 5m away. The line was cleared by 8pm.
The train driver was unhurt."
