LORRY STICKS ON LEVEL CROSSING.
Napier, October 13. A motor lorry and its load of furniture were badly smashed by a train at Awatoto this evening. The lorry wheels sank in some shingle and the power was not sufficient to move the vehicle. The driver heard a train coming, and ran along the line in an endeavour to stop it, but was not successful in preventing a collision.
