RUNAWAY MOTOR-CAR
CAREER DOWN STEEP SLOfE CRASH THROUGH FENCES - An unoccupied light saloon car ran down the steep slope of Basque Road, Eden Terrace, about three o'clock yesterday afternoon, crashed through two fences in a fall of about Bft. and came to rest with its radiator against the side of Mr. A. Harley's house at 5 Basque Road. The owner of the car, Mr. N. Bryan, of 323 Mount Albert Road, Mount Roskill, had parked the vehicle near the entrance to Basque Road. In its brief career it crossed the intersection of Basque Road and Dundonald Street. The front of the car was crushed, but the vehicle came to rest against the wall of Mr. Harley's house without damaging the dwelling. The car was lifted back to the footpath by residents.
