MOTOR ACCIDENT.
DAMAGE TO VEHICLE. • The motor car (a three-seater) in which Mr and Airs S. Gibson, of Palmerston North, and Aliss AlcCotiochie, of Dunedin, were driving through the Manawatu Gorge this morning when a falling tree crashed into it vvas brought back to Messrs Justice and Edmunds garage this afternoon. Evidence of the torch of the impact of the tree is manifest in the shattered hood and windscreen, the iron stays supporting the former und the metal framework of the latter being bent and buckled like twisted wire. The off-sido rear mud-guard is dented, but the body of the car appears to have escaped material damage. ’1 he fact that the hood was up at the time of the accident accounts for the escape from serious injury of the occupants of the car, but the smashed and buckled iron stays suggest that the impact must have been severe.
