FATAL TRAM ACCIDENT.

DUNEDIN, April 9. William Nesbitt, 45 years of age, and married, who resided at Anderson road, Kaikora, was returning home by the 9.30 car from the Octagon last night. He travelled to High street, where the electric car to Maori Hill intersects the other line. He walked on the left-hand side of the track as far as the spot where the fatality happened. He evidently lurched inwards as the car approached. He struck the front portion, and, missing the life-guard, fell under the car, the wheels passing over both legs. The lower portion of the body was dreadfully injured. Death was instantaneous. The motor-man says no one saw deceased till he was in front of the car, and he was unable to pull up in time.
