OVER A BANK.
TAIHAPE DRAPER'S CRASH.
CAR DESCENDS FORTY FEET.
DRIVER'S MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)
TAIHAPE, this day,
Late yesterday afternoon when being driven out to the Utiku Golf links an open touring car, owned and driven by Mr. George Edward Little, a local draper, went over the bank on Beban's Hill, on the Winiata side of the cemetery gates, and crashed down a distance of 40 feet, coming to rest not far from the railway line above the tunnel. Mr. Little miraculously escaped with cuts and bruises and is now an inmate o fthe Via Street Hospital, suffering from shock. The car was badly smashed. About a month ago a party, while returning from a dance, went over the bank at approximately the same spot.
