COLLISION WITH CYCLIST
WALKS HOME, BUT DIES
DUNEDIN, Aug. 17. Charles Francis Jopson, the eight-year-old boy who was knocked down by a cycle on Tuesday night, was able to walk across the street to his home, although Iris nose and right ear showed signs of injury. He told his mother he had been hit bv a. cycle, and his mother dressed his injuries and made him comfortable in bed. To her the injuries did not appear serious, and the bov did not complain -v For about two hours the child slept soundly. When he awoke he complain- ■ ed of being ill and of having pains in his head. A doctor was called and he % ordered his immediate removal to the hospital. On the way the boy lapsed into a state of deep unconsciousness and died forty-five minutes after admission. It was stated to be certain that, even if the boy had been removed to the hospital as soon as the accident occurred, there would have been no chance of saving his life, as his skull was fractured and his brain injured.
