LORRY GOES OVER BANK
NUMBER OF SHEEP KILLED.
(By Telegraph,—Press Association.) Napier, May 10.
When the lights failed on a lorry travelling in the darkness over Tongoio hill on the Wairoa Road, the driver lost his bearings, and before he could pull up, the lorry slid off the road and went about 100 feet down a bank before being stopped by a tree. The driver was not injured, but twenty-three sheep which the lorrv was carrying were killed outright, while a further twenty or thirty were so injured that they had to be destroyed.
