PURSUER SHAKEN OFF.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
CHRISTCHURCH, this day.
Driving along Page's Road at 1.30 a.m. yesterday, a motorist ran into a stationary motor cycle, on which there were a man and a girl. The latter was on the pillion seat.
The machine was carried thirty, feet by the impact, and the girl was thrown ofi, but the driver of the car did not slacken his speed.
A motor cyclist nearby chased the car, but its lights were put out. The motor cyclist managed to catch it, after travelling at fifty miles an hour, but he was ridden into the gutter by the car driver, who swerved over as the motor cyclist tried to get in front. The girl was taken to the hospital, but her condition is not serious.
