1955 Hobart, Tasmania – Police were seeking public help to trace a utility which had crashed into a house in Tregear Street, Derwent Park.  Although the utility knocked a hole in the wall of the house, two young boys whose beds were sent skidding across the floor inside, slept through the incident and were uninjured. Their father, Mr Kenneth Evans, also knew nothing of the crash until he went outside to collect his newspaper at 6.30 a.m.
