BUS AND CAR COLLIDE. INJURIES TO DRIVER'S WIFE. [BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.] TIMAKU, Monday. Three accidents occurred here to-day. A large service bus and motor-car collided a few miles north of Timaru. The driver of the car suffered severe cuts on the face and hands, while his wife, Mrs. Charles Dash, suffered a fracture of the thigh and knee. She was taken to the hospital. In another case a Christ church resident, who was motoring to Lake Tekapo with his wifs, family and a friend, failed to negotiate a small bridge near the Cave township. The car capsized into a waterhole.. The car was a sedan, but the occupants managed to open a door and reach dry land uninjured. In the third case, a man attempted to board an express train when it was in motion. He was dragged about 30yds. before the train was stopped. He was released from his perilous position after clinging to the undercarriage of the car severely shaken but otherwise unhurt.
