I have been doing a bit of research on the above pic, and dicovered that it took place on the 15th November 1958 at the bottom of Arthur Street in Edinburgh.
Six year old, Marion McAlinden, of 51 Arthur Street, Edinburgh, was playing at the bottom of the street at the time and escaped being hit by the runaway truck.
The driver, Fred Ungdale of 25 Niddrie Mains Terrace states that the lorry was in reverse, with its handbrake on, so didn’t know how it came to carear down the street. He could only watch helplessly and shout warnings to the kids playing at the bottom.

Below is another image, this time the kids who moments earlier escaped injury or death now helping with the clean up effort. The transfer wagon is also now on scene.

The below image is what the location look slike today. The flats were built in the 70s I believe.

Hiya…i don’t think the driver would have got the SACK. i think the mechanic may have got in trouble for COBBLEING up the handbrake
and leaving to much SLACK in the rods. the driver may have got into some trouble with his LOG book. he thought he had BAGS of time
left while unloading.before he had his sarnies and can of COKE.
sorry John

Hiya maggi D …she SCUTTLED away and was safe, we had a BURNING feeling her dad would have to GUARD her better.
as ANN THRICITE was only a MINER she should have BEAN home, her mother had gone out playing POKA locally.
I did read the machinic got FIRED for the maintanence on the lorry and the enquiry had been SCALED down.
It turned out the self employed mechanic was from ASHington and had been a CHIMNEY sweep,
