Pat Hallinan of Cootamundra was 66 when he died in 1953.
He was admitted to Sacred Heart Hospital and died three hours after. He was admitted with serious chest injuries as a result of his own car striking him when he cranked it while it was in gear.
The accident happened at the rear of Messrs. Hallinan Bros.' store in Parker Street.
Apparently he was thrown against the corner of the building, because the downpiping was torn away.
The car was an old model Dodge it careered out the gate into the lane and ran into Mr Jack Croker's back fence.
Pat Hallinan was my grandfather, his father:
