A Free Tow
To have his car caught up on the rear bumper of one of the municipal buses and carried for nearly 20yds was the unusual exOfrience which befell a motorist reok'ntlv, in Gisborne. It is the custom for certain bus drivers to turn their vehicles in a wide sweep almost opposite the Post Office in order to draw up at the stand. While one driver was in the act of doing this, a light car which was proceeding up the street, drove into the back of the bus, and was held fast through the bumper catching on to the lront bumper of the car. The bus completed its turn and came to a standstill before the driver was aware of the other man’s unfortunate predicament. With the assistance of several amused onlookers the vehicles were separated, and the car drove away undamaged.
