An unusually high speed (10,000 km/s) type II radio burst was observed in the rising phase of a strong gamma-ray burst which started at 2359:58.7 UT on April 24, 1984. The high-speed type II burst decelerated suddenly to 3600 km/s and, after that, activated an advancing front moving type IV radio burst and an H-alpha Moreton wave. Comparisons of the type II burst with X-ray and gamma-ray emissions suggest that shock acceleration did not play a major role in acceleration of high-energy electrons and ions which were responsible for production of the strong X-ray and gamma-ray emissions in the impulsive phase of the April 24 flare.
