Boy's Leg Crushed Under Truck At Lumber Factory His father: James Luke and two unidentified men tried for almost 15 minutes last night to move an empty lumber truck from the legs of six-year-old Wayne Luke, 85 Ontario Street, who became pinned when he fell off the moving vehicle in the yard of the Kohen Lumber Company on William Street East. Taken in the Fire Chief's car to the Oshawa General Hospital, he was given emergency treatment by Dr. J. E. Todd for a crushed left leg and abrasions to his right leg before being allowed to return home. "He was playing on one of those lumber trucks that run on the small rails," said Mr. Luke. "Some other children were pushing it and my son fell off and was caught under- neath. I didn't know anything about it until my daughter Carleen came running in and told me what happened." Mr. Luke said he and the other two men tried to lift the truck but "it was too heavy" so they used some nearby planks to act as lev- ers and hoisted the vehicle off young Wayne. "His leg was completely crushed just above the knee," said the boy's father, who is an employee of the Ontario, Steel Products. "I've warned the children re- peatedly to stay away from the lumber yard but they don't pay any attention," said Mr. Luke. He said Wayne's left leg is bandaged from thigh to ankle and is still paining the child considerably. "He was to start in the first grade of Mary Street School this fall," said Mr. Luke, "and he was looking forward to it so much."
