On the Glanville railway bridge a sedan left control and fell 25 feet beside the line. Feith Willian Mertin, a 31 year old taxi driver from Semaphore, was admitted in a seed condition with brain injuries and shock. The car struck a hail patch, tore down fencing, somersaulted, and landed near the tracks.
