Summary

Mr. A.C. Turner, a dentist of 3 Pier Street Glenelg, was motoring in the hills on the morning of Sunday 15 February 1920. His car left the road at a sharp curve a little beyond the Upper Sturt church and crashed 300 feet to a creek below. Mr. Turner managed to throw himself clear of the car and rolled 40 feet before his descent was stopped by a tree. He walked the remaining distance to Mount Lofty. The front axle was bent, three tyres burst and a wheel smashed.
