CRUSHED BY SIDECAR.
LITTLE GIRL KILLED.
FATHER'S MOTOR. CYCLE CAPSIZES,
(By Telegraph.—Own' Correspondent.) WANGANUI, this day. ' Mavis Mitchell, four years old, was fatally injured on Sunday evening through the capsizing of a motor cycle and sidecar, driven by her father, Kaymond Hector Mitchell. Mitchell was approaching an intersection when he observed a motor car. He applied the brakes, and when the machine had just about stopped he pulled it round hard to the right, with the result that the front tyre gripped the bitumen of the road, and the machine lifted from the rear and capsized. He was thrown off the machine, and the girl and her younger brother were thrown ou't of the sidecar. He was pinned under the machine, and the driver or the motor car came to their assistance and lifted the machine off him. He went to his daughter, who was bleeding from the mouth and was unconscious. He picked her up, and the driver of the motor car took them to the public hospital.
