CAR AMOK; MINER IS KILLED
Tragedy At King's Cross WOMAN HURT
A MAN was killed, a young woman injured, and portion of a men's toilet at King's Cross wrecked when the accelerator of a car driven by Sir Harry Moxham, well-known Macquarie Street specialist, jammed yesterday afternoon. Roderick Vincent Penno, 27, a miner, of Inch Street, Lithgow, was the victim, while Miss Enid McCauley, 21, of Craigend Street, King's Cross, who suffered a probable fractured pelvis, was injured. The car, after striking the man and the young woman, who was with him, continued on at a terriflc pace and struck the ralling surrounding the toilet. The railing was smashed, and an iron electric light standard was torn from its concrete foundations and left at an angle of 30 degrees. The doctor's car was proceeding west along King's Cross Road. When only a few yards from the intersection of Darlinghurst Road, the accelerator of the car jammed, and the driver made frantic efforts to regain control, as the car, gathering speed, hurtled towards the top of the toilet, which is built underground. ... ...
The driver, it is stated, applied the brakes and attempted to turn the engine into Victoria Street, but the speed of the car was apparently too great. Penno and the young lady were on their way to a fish shop, and were In the middle of the road when the car bore down on them. Penno was killed instantly. The girl was reported last night to be In a satisfactory condition. Penno had arrived from Lithgow on Thursday evening to spend Easter In the city. The doctor, apart from severe shock, was uninjured. A young lady who was travelling In the car with him at the time also escaped injury. The car Is a new model of a particularly powerful make. Central District Ambulance attended and conveyed the deceased and Miss McCauley to St. Vincent's Hospital. Following the accident the toilet was closed to the public. An attendant was the only person there at the time. He said that the crash sounded as If a bomb had been dropped on the place. "

According to Kenny’s the Rockland Hotel was built in 1935 and was owned by the Monaghan sisters. The shop with the canopy on the left is a sweet shop. www.kennys.ie/old-galway/1893-the-rockland-hotel

Quite Adept Excellent. So 1935 for a kick-off.

The car at right is registered ZC 6124. This series was used in Dublin from March 1937 to January 1940 and, given the number 6124, it seems likely that it was allocated towards the end of the period.

Sure we may as well have a bit of streetview: maps.app.goo.gl/fVK7AL2yETGR6knF6

Looks from the 25" like there should be tram lines in front of it, but between the blurriness of the road and the general policy of the time of ripping up tramlines, there's nothing identifiable in the image. They're not marked on the post-war 6". Edit: The hotel with the tramlines in front of it is a hundred yards behind the cameraman, on the corner of Atlantic terrace. (still standing, btw).
