• Notes

  Cyclist Thrown Against Rockery. In an endeavour to avoid running into a woman in Elizabeth street north yesterday afternoon Frederick Ricardo, aged 21 years, of Gooch street, Thornbury, who was riding a motor-cycle, was thrown on to the rockeries, and sustained serious injury. Ricardo, with a friend, Herbert Spiller, of Lyle street, West Brunswick, was riding towards the city, when he saw a woman crossing the road at Queensberry street. Ricardo sounded his horn, and when he was within 10 yards of the woman she apparently saw him, and stepped back. He turned slightly to the left to avoid her, but the woman became confused, and walked directly in front of the cycle. She was knocked down, and the impact threw Ricardo on to the rockery. He was taken to the Melbourne Hospital, where on admittance he was found to be suffering from a fractured skull. He was still unconscious at a late hour last night. The woman was uninjured, and was seen to walk away immediately after the accident. Source The Argus (Melbourne), 18 Dec 1922, page 14.
