Road Toll Now 552
(N.Z. Press Association)
WELLINGTON, Dec. 28.
New Zealand’s Christmas road toll rose to eight today, when a man was killed near Paraparaumu. He was: Harold Victor Roscoe, aged 66, of Stratford.
His wife, Mrs B. Roscoe, was in hospital tonight with lacerations, concussion and shock.
Earlier the Transport Department attributed Mr Roscoe’s death to natural causes, but late tonight the police said this had not been established and they were treating the man’s death as a traffic fatality and were nbtifying the department accordingly. Mr Roscoe died about 3.20 p.m. when his car left the road and crashed into a ditch on the main highway a mile south of Paraparaumu. The road toll this year now is 552.
