SQUEEZED BETWEEN TRAMS
CAR IN SENSATIONAL ACCIDENT DRIVER MIRACULOUSLY UNINJURED [Per United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, February 19. Two tram cars were partly derailed and a motor car almost completely wrecked in a “ sandwich ” accident at the junction of Customhouse Quay and Post Office Square at 8.45 this morning. The driver of the car, Mr H. C. Trim, programme organiser at 2YA, had an extraordinary escape from injury, climbing from the window without a scratch. , An hour’s work with a breakdown gang, a wagon, and four other trams was required to free the motor car, which was tightly wedged, and get the two trams back on the rails. Other traffic, meanwhile, was diverted, and a large crowd watched the break-down gang at their job.
