SAFETY ZONE WRECKED.
VEHICLE SEVERELY DAMAGED
STRUCK BY MOTOR-CAR
The reason for (lie partly-demolished state of the safety-zone on the west side of Queen Street, near the Victoria Street intersection, caused much surmise among interested groups of people until a late hour last evening. One of thd concrete buffers at the end of the zone was reduced to a crumpled mass, and scattered remnants lay about the road. One of the large red lights which adorn the ends of the zones was flattened to the ground. The damage was done shortly after nine o'clock, when a large live-seater car, driven by Mr. T. M. A. Nairn, of Karangahape Road, crashed into the zone. The car naturally suffered more extensively than the zone. The lights, buffer and radiator were crushed, the windscreen was shattered, and the steering-wheel was wrenched from its connections.
Mr. Nairn escaped with a slight cut upon the chin.
