Campbell, were injured when their car skidded and plunged over a bank on the Kurow-Omarama road last evening near Lake Waitaki. The car apparently overturned when it went over a bank and came to rest in shallow water at the edge of the lake. M. R. Campbell was pinned by the car, and his son, J.

Campbell was later admitted to the Oamaru Public Hospital. His condition is reported to be serious.
