The intersection of Grey and Beattie Streets was the scene of a collision between a motor car and a motor cycle last night. Both vehicles were considerably damaged as the result of the impact, the cycle suffering the greater damage, but neither the rider of the latter nor the occupants of the car were injured. This particular corner has been the scene of previous motor collisions, the visibility from the Denbigh Street approach being somewhat obscured.
