CAR GOES OVER STEEP BANK
OCCUPANTS’ NARROW ESCAPE
Dominion Special Service.
Nelson, December 28.
Yesterday afternoon a Christchurch party comprising two ladies and an elderly man (who was driving) had a miraculous escape from serious if not fatal injury, when a motor-car in which they were proceeding to the Coast went over the edge of the Buller Gorge road, and fell about 100 feet. The accident occurred about one and a half miles above the Lyell on what is known as Dublin Terrace. It was caused by the car keeping too far out when passing a stationary car, which was bound in the other direction, and had pulled up. The car, which went over the bank, was a strong steelframed sedan, and this fact probably accounted for the passengers, whose names are not ascertainable, not being seriously injured. As it was, they were taken by service car into Reefton for treatment at the hospital.
