A car owned by King had stuck in the sand at Waihi Beach, near Bowentown Heads, and was being towed to town by a breakdown car, when it overran the towline and collided with an oak tree at the intersection of Ivenny and Haszard Streets. The impact caused King, w"io was steering the disabled car, to be crushed against the steeling wheel.
