CAR'S DOUBLE SOMERSAULT.
SHINGLE ON THE ROAD. PARTY'S FORTUNATE ESCAPE. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, Monday. A remarkable escape from a serious motoring accident occurred yesterday when Mr. Thomas Aspell, of the Eastern Hotel, was motoring to Methven with Mrs. Aspell, their two children and a friend. In trying to make a turn the front wheels ran into loose shingle, with the result that the car turned a double somersault. The first turn tore off the top of the sedan and threw all the occupants on to the road with the exception of Mr. Aspell, who remained in his seat the whole time. The family and the visitor escaped with very minor bruises, but Mr. Aspell had four stitches put in the back of his head. He is suffering from shock.
