STREET COLLISION
WOMAN DRIVER'S SURPRISE
,SURROUNDED BY POLICE (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. A woman driving a small car got a surprise last night when she ran into a small boy at the intersection of Colombo and Hereford Streets. The car was travelling slowly, and the boy was not hurt. ' The car was stopped within a foot or two after the collision, and the woman found her car surrounded by nine constables and two sergeants. The sudden police response was due to the fact that the collision occurred at the exact moment that the police- were changing beats, and the night duty men were marching to the intersection when the accident took place. ' The array of policemen rapidly attracted a large crowd. With so many men available, the necessary details were collected in a few moments, and from the centre of the crowd the small boy appeared. He was sent on his way by a sergeant, who gave him a pat on the head. *
