Death | 8 November 1940 (aged 32 years) TRAFFIC FATALITY. Mudgee Man Killed When Bus and Cycle Collide HERBERT William McGowan, 30, a Mudgee native, was killed almost instantly inside the grounds of the S.A. Factory, Lithgow, on Friday morning, when the bicycle he was riding was struck by a bus. The wheel is stated to have passed over his skull which was fractured. The fatality occurred at 6.45. McGowan was riding to take up duty in the establishment, when the bus, which was carrying employees, travelling in the same direction, collided with his machine. The ambulance took the body to a doctor and the hospital morgue. The bus was driven by Melvel Lane, son of Mr. C. H. D. Lane, proprietor of the service. McGowan was a single man. He went to Lithgow eight months ago when he obtained employment at the factory, and was exceptionally popular among his workmates. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. S. McGowan, of Mudgee, two sisters, and three bers. They are Mrs. R. Dowell, 9 Boundary Street, Lithgow, with whom he lived; Mrs. R. Cameron, Mudgee; Mr. Jack McGowan, Vale Road; Mr. Charles McGowan, Ashbury; and Mr. Walter McGowan, Coonabarabran. The tragedy cast a gloom over the establishment. The traffic at the peak hours is intense and it has long been feared that the congestion would lead to a tragedy. Mudgee Guardian, Monday 11 November 1940, p. 3. Fatality Herbert McGowan |
