CAR LEAVES ROAD
FALL OVER CLIFF THREE PEOPLE INJURED (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, January 4. Three people returning by motor-car to Auckland last night from a holiday at Red Beach were injured when their, car ran of! the road at a point about a mile beyond Albany and somersaulted for 100 feet over a cliff. The driver, Mr. J, K. Martin, of Epsom, escaped with injuries to his back, but Mrs. Martin suffered a fractured pelvis. Their daughter received cuts and abrasions. Difficulty was experienced in bringing the injured people to the road, and about a dozen people laboured with stretchers in heavy rain and darkness before their task was completed. It was only through the help of motorists who readily gave their assistance that the injured were brought to the road as quickly as they were. The car, a saloon model, was wrecked beyond repair.
