Two people are dead and two others may die as a result of an accident on the Hume Highway yesterday. This was stated today at the Liverpool Court when David Russell, 35, carrier, of Liverpool, was remanded to July 28 on two charges of manslaughter.

Russell was also remanded on charges of drunken driving, driving on the wrong side of the road and on three charges of causing grievous bodily harm.

Bail of ?100 was allowed.

Sergeant McKinley said that Russell, while drunk, drove on the wrong side of the road in a truck and collided with a car.

As a result of the smash Herbert J. C. Perry, of Granville, and Arthur S. Croft, of Broadmeadow, died. Fears were held for the recovery of Edna Croft, Amy Lasbury and Eunice Perry.

Still critically ill in hospital are Mrs. Edna Croft, of Broadmeadow, wife of the dead man; Anita Croft, of Granville, and Eunice Perry, of Granville.
