CAR'S FALL INTO GARDEN
DROPS 60 FEET FROM ROAD OCCUPANTS' LUCKY ESCAPE [BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION] WELLINGTON, Wednesday Two people narrowly escaped serious injury or death when their car this afternoon crashed through a fence, landed, on a fowlhouse, and finally ended up in a garden about 60ft. below the road. They were Sir. and Mrs. J. Boyd, of Lower Hutt. Sir. Boyd was not hurt, and Mrs. Boyd was able to return home after medical attention. The car was extensively damaged. Mr. Boyd was driving the car down Crawford Road, when it careered over the kerb and, crashing through a picket and rail fence, went over the edge of a deep concrete wall. It landed on its four wheels on the roof of a fowlhouse, and then, after turning over in the air, came to rest on its wheels in the garden further down.
