RUN DOWN BY A CAR
(»T TSLEORAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
MASTERTON, 27th December
The dastardly act of running over a man, injuring him seriously, and leaving him lying helpless in the. road way was perpetrated by a motor hog on Christmas morning. A married man named Traill was proceeding to his home on the Upper Plain about 10 o'clock on Christmas morning, when ■ he was run down by a motor-car and seriously mr jured. It appears that Traill left a friend near the Congregational Church to walk home. This was about 10 o'clock, and at 2.30 he was found by a passer-by lying on the road in Reynoldsstreet. The police were informed, and the unfortunate man was given, medical attention. It was ascertained upon examination that one leg had been broken, a shoulder dislocated, and other injuries sustained. Mr. Traill only remembers being struck violently by the car, and was left lying on the road until the passerby found him nearly two hours later. Up till now the identity of the motor-car driver has not been discovered by the police.
