Saloon Car Overturns On Ruakaka Flats
I I A saloon car containing five people j capsized over a 20-foot bank on the j Ruakaka Flats, on the Waipu Road, on j Thursday evening. Fortunately, only | one of the occupants was injured. He j was George Lindsay, a baker’s assis- * tant. of Kaikohe. He received a severe j cut on the top of his head, and had to! receive medical attention in Whanga- : rei.
Mr Lindsay was driving his employer, Mr L J. Smith and Mrs Smith, and two other ladies to Auckland. When approaching a one-car bridge, another car was ahead. There was a misunderstanding as to which car had the right of way, and the car Mr Lindsay was driving skidded and overturned. The vehicle was extensively damaged. The bridge at which the accident occurred was the same as that in the vicinity of which Mr A. Main, of Auckland, was seriously injured some months ago.
