TRACKED BY POLICE
ALLEGED "HIT AND RUN"
ARREST ON A FARM
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
HASTINGS. February 11
A painstaking search, in which they drove for many miles over country roads picking up fragments of glass, led to the arrest of a man aged 25 late tonight, arising out of a hit-and-run accident at 4 p.m., in which an elderly woman, Mrs. Ingrid Cook, Havelock North, suffered multiple injuries. Mrs. Cook was cycling along the main road from Hastings to Havelpck North when she was struck by a light truck at an intersection. The vehicle did not stop, and Mrs. Cook was found lying unconscious in the roadway. The police were informed, and Constables B. Farquharson and W. S. Craigie began searching a wide area. The glass was traced to a farm, where a truck was found with a headlamp broken, and an arrest was subsequently made.
