REMARKABLE ESCAPE.
CAR STRUCK BY TRAIN. DRIVER NOT INJURED. A remarkable escape from serious injury was experienced last evening by Mr. E. J. Ryan, a resident of Dean Street, Archhill. Mien he was driving a motor-car across the railway line at the Porter's Avenue crossing, Mount Eden, at about 6.30 p.m. the machine was struck by the engine of the Auckland-bound Helensville train. After being carried on the front part of the engine for about 100 yards the car was thrown on one side and smashed to pieces. Mr. Ryan, it is understood, climbed on to the engine before his car fell away from it. He thus escaped uninjured.
