FOUR KILLED WHEN TRUCKS COLLIDE BRISBANE, November 7
Two women and two servicemen were killed and seven other servicemen injured in what was almost a head-on collision between two service trucks at Scarborough at 1130 last night.
Those killed were LAC Tomlinson RAAF and AC1 Dolman RAAF along with Muriel Dukes & Joyce George - employees of the Moreton Bay Hotel, Redcliffe.
Most of the casualties were in an army weapon carrier, which was conveying a number of people towards Redcliffe after a dance at Scarborough. It came into collision with a three ton RAAF truck travelling in the opposite direction.
