FATAL TRAM ACCIDENT.
MOTOR-CYCLIST KILLED.
YOUTH'S MISCALCULATION.
RIDING BETWEEN THE LINES
[BI TKLEGBAPH. — ASSOCIATION.] OHRISTCHURCH. Sunday.
A youth named George Bernard Condell Barnden, 19 years of age, who resided at Linwood, was killed at New Brighton last night as the result of a head-on collision with a tramcar.
Barnden was riding a motor-cycle which he obtained only yesterday morning. When near the pier he was travelling between the tram lines, and apparently thought that he could pass a motor-van which w< - standing on the correct side of the road with lights attached, before an approaching tram could reach him. This calculation proved wrong, for he ran directly into the lighted .lamp of the tramcar, and was carried 27yds. before the csv pulled up. He lived only a few minutes.
