FOUR CARS IN ACCIDENT
Collision In Colombo Street
Four cars were involved in a spectacular collision at the intersection of Colombo street and Oxford terrace just before midnight last night. No-one was injured, but two of the cars were badly damaged. A large pre-war sedan, which was travelling south in Colombo street came into collision with another car at the Oxford terrace intersection, and then crashed into two cars parked on the east side of Colombo street.
It came to a halt facing nearly north and between the two cars that it had smashed into. One, a recent model English saloon, was badly damaged about the front, the other did not appear to have suffered serious damage. All three cars were partly on the footpath. The pre-war sedan bent a parking meter before coming to rest against a veranda support. The car it had originally collided with, stopped in Oxford terrace on its wrong side of the road.
