A new motor car was wrecked near Wellington last week. When returning from a visit to the Hutt, Air S. George Nathan stopped at aft oil store at Kaiwarra on his way to town, and parked his car as close as possible to tho deep side channel. Ho had not been inside the store more than a few minutes when ho heard a loud crash outside. On hurrying outside, ho discovered his machine to be practically a complete ruin. It seemed that everything that could bo broken had been smashed, even to essential engine parts, axles, sideboards, wind-screen, and tyres. A five-ton lorry going to town had, it is stated, crashed right into tho standing car. Curiously enough, tho lorry was towing into Wellington a motor lorry that was concerned in an accident on the Hutt road on the previous day.
