SENSATIONAL MOTOR SMASH.
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
INVERCARGILL, March 17
Robert Russell, a stock dealer, and Thomas Brown, a farmer, had a sensational experience while motoring on Friday night. They had passed another car going in the same direction, but its brighter lights made it difficult to see the road properly, and Russell missed a turn in the road near the river, and drove straight into a fence protecting the stream. Both men were thrown into the water by the force of the impact. Russell fell into shallow water, and managed to scramble ashore. He saw Brown, who was apparently stunned, floating down stream. Holding on to a flax bush he reached him and brought him ashore. Neither was much hurt.
