MOTOR CAR SOMERSAULTS.
WHEELS REVOLVE IN AIR. PASSENGERS NOT INJURED. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent ) ■ , HAMILTON, this clay. An extraordinary accident occurred at the junction of Anglesea, Thackeray and Hood Streets, at what is known as Brighton Corner, last evening. A heavy sedan car, driven by Mr. Robert E. McCrae, manager of Buses, Ltd., collided with another car and turned a complete somersault. It came to rest on its hood, with its four wheels revolving in the air and its headlights still lighting up the whole road. The most extraordinary feature of the accident was that although there were two women passengers in Mr. McCrae"s car nobody was hurt, and comparatively little damage was done, apart from smashed *ilass and crumpled hood. The other car was only slightly damaged.
