ANOTHER SMASH.
LEVEL CROSSING AT NAPIER. (press association telegbam.) NAPIER, March 8. Napier added to the list of railway crossing accidents late th'is afternoon, when the train leaving Napier at 4.35 struck a motor-car at Woodcock's crossing, a short distance outside the borough boundary. Tho car was badly damaged, but the driver, William Robinson, of Give, escaped luckily with minor abrasions. The crossing is a very dangerous one, which only recently came into use to any extent, when all traffic on the main Napier-Hastings road was diverted over it,, whilst the main road was being put down concrete. Houses right on the crossing completely obscure the view!
