TRAMS & CAR COLLIDE
MOTORIST’S LUCKY ESCAPE [PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.] WELLINGTON, February 19. Two tramcars were partly derailed, and a motor-car was almost completely wrecked, in a “sandwich” accident at the junction of Customhouse Quay and the Post Office Square, at 8.45 o’clock 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 wagon, and four other trams, were required to free the motor-car, which was tightly wedged, and to get the two trams back on the rails. Other traffic, meanwhile, was diverted, and a large crowd watched the breakdown gang at their job.
