BROTHER FATALLY INJURED
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
PALMERSTON N., Wednesday.
Maurice Clement Albrey O'Donnell, schoolmaster, of Matamau, was to-day committed to the Supreme Court for trial on a charge of negligently driving a car and causing death. The charge arose out of an accident on Ihakara Hill, near Shannon, when a three-seater car driven by O'Donnell collided with another car driven by a youth, Ronald Henry Dunbar King, and as a result went over a steep bank on the side of the road. The car was stated to have come to rest 84ft down a slope.
Accused's brother, Thomas Francis Joseph O'Donnell, who owned the car, in which lie had been a passenger, was found to have sustained severe injuries. He was removed to the Palmerston North Hospital, where he died.
