The car struck the gig, got on to a greasy patch and then turned upside down. Mr. George Tipping, of Waipukurau, owner and driver of the car, was cut b.v broken glass. One child, with a scalp wound, was removed to the hospital, and was reported this morning to be making good progress. Four other occupants escaped without injury. The gig was undamaged, and its occupants were not hurt.
