MOTOR GOES OVER BANK.
OCCUPANTS PINNED DOWN.
MISHAP AT HENDERSON
What might have been a serious accident occurred on the Henderson Valley Road in the early hours of Friday morning. About one o'clock Mr. J. Dorman was roused by some unknown person who requested his assistance in hauling a motor-car on to the road from where it had run down a bank. The car was eventually righted and Mr. Dorman then went home, but had scarcely reached his own gate when he heard the sound of a crash on the road near the spot he had just left. Returning, he found that a second car had gone off the road and had turned upside down. Tho occupants, a yoking man and woman, were pinned underneath it and the petrol was running out of the tank. With the assistance of some passers-by, the car was lifted and the driver and his companion, who were shaken and bruised, were released from their position and the car restored to the road. The 6pot where the accident occurred is about 200 yds. from tho Henderson railway station, near a bend in the road.
