THE UN LUNG MOTOR BUS COLLISION.
DRIVERS FOUND GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER.
JURY’S IMPORTANT RIDER.

The case in which the two motor-bus drivers concerned in the Un Lung motor-bus collision, were terminated yesterday afternoon. The prisoners were found guilty and sentenced to three years’ hard labour each. The Jury added an important rider to their verdict. They recommended that it should be brought to the notice of the authorities that all bridges, in their opinion, should be widened to the width of the road. They also recommended that steps should be taken to separate bus drivers from passengers so that no conversation between driver and passengers could take place.
His Lordship intimated that the recommendations would be forwarded to the proper quarter.
On the Court resuming yesterday afternoon, Mr. Campbell Prosser addressed the Jury at some length. He opened by dealing with the question of negligence. The Jury, he argued, had to be satisfied that gross negligence amounting to recklessness had been proved before the prisoners could be convicted. The Attorney-General, he said, in opening for the Crown had put the case for above what had been proved in evidence and cross-examination. The Crown’s case had fallen short of a conviction.
Continuing, Mr. Prosser said that if the collision took place anywhere on the bridge his case for the defence would be hopeless. If this happened it would have shown that there was a dispute between the drivers as to the right of way across the bridge. On the facts proved these never was a dispute as to right of way between the two prisoners. Both prisoners in their evidence showed that the bus from Tsim Sha Tsui had no intention of crossing the bridge first. This, said Mr. Prosser, was a very vital part of his case. The Crown had also said that there was never any intention on the part of the drivers to slow down, but both men had said that they did slow down and on that point their statements were not challenged. The first prisoner had said he could have avoided the collision if he had not slowed down. He probably lost his head when he saw the other bus was on the bridge.

RECKLESS AND CARELESS.
Regarding the evidence of the expert witness for the Crown, Mr. Prosser said it was an extraordinary coincidence that both foot brakes were out of order. He was fully convinced that these two foot brakes were used all that day and yet it was extraordinary that they should both need adjusting when the collision took place. He attributed the collision to a pure error of judgement. The driver of No. 1204 bus expected to get across the bridge and the other driver expected the bridge would be clear by the time he reached it.
The Attorney-General, in the course of his address, said he was prepared to accept the prisoner’s statements that the foot brakes were in order and used during the day of the collision. “I am prepared to accept that, gentlemen, but I lay blame to them for not having used those brakes in time. If they had they might have prevented the collision.” He asked the Jury not to pay too much attention to minor details but to direct their attention to the final event of unfortunate collision. He submitted that the Jury could get away from the drivers’ own stories – and he was prepared to accept those stories – and on those stories he asked the Jury to find the prisoners “Guilty.”
The Jury, after a brief retirement, returned verdicts of “Guilty” against both prisoners. The foreman than read a rider, the substance of which is given above.
His Lordship, addressing the prisoners, described the case as a very serious one and they had been convicted of manslaughter. They had both acted in a very reckless and careless manner. He could do no less than sentence them to three years’ hard labour each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
