REMARKABLE ACCIDENT
SHOP WRECKED BY LORRY.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
PALMERSTON N., This Day.
An unusual accident occurred in the main street yesterday afternoon, when a motor-lorry, in endeavouring to avoid a collision with a motor-ear, ran on to the pavement, and crashed, into the side of a shop, knocking a large hole in the wall, and throwing the side of the building out of alignment. Yesterday was a half-holiday, but the proprietor was inside at the time of the occurrence. Shelves were dislodged, goods were scattered about, the counter was pushed several feet across the shop, and the side of a glass case was shattered, but the damage was mostly confined to the wall and the shop fittings. The forepart of the lorry was badly damaged, and tho vehicle had to bo towed away. The driver escaped injury.
