The Sunrising hill was blocked for some time last week by a mishap to a traction engine belonging to Mr L G Brown, of Leighton Buzzard. The accident occurred on Tuesday night. Four heavily-laden furniture vans were descending the hill, and having proceeded about a hundred yards, the second van got out of control and was overturned, and lay across the hill, completely blocking it until midday on Wednesday, when a passage was made through. The men in charge took the engine and two vans to the top. The two vans then left on the hill were unloaded, and were not cleared till Friday. A boy who was riding in the overturned van had a narrow escape from injury, and jumped off just before the crash came. This is the second time a traction engine has gone wrong on the hill recently, about a week previously one got out of control and ran into the bank, but was not overturned.
