Harold Steele, 62 of Quyon, is in the Community Hospital, suffering from shock and badly injured legs received when hit by a truck as he was crossing Norway Bay road, just off Highway No. 8. The truck involved is owned by Pontiac Transport Company.

Mr. Steele, a passenger in a car driven by John P. Balharrie, a former mayor of Ottawa, was enroute to Bristol. He had left the car which was parked at the foot of a hill, and was crossing the road when struck and hurled 20 feet. The truck had just come over the brow of the hill and it is believed the driver did not see Steele.
