A recent accident near Dannevirko, when a Napier car capsized over a small bridge, taking the bridge rail with it, had curious consequences. The following day, when a motor truck was operating in an endeavour to haul the car from the creek, a motor-cycle and sidecar reached tho bridge, and the driver of tho cycle became so interested watch- ! ing the proceedings that be neglected : to steer and went over tho bridge himself. The dual catastrophe attracted ihe attention of another motor-cyclist, who put bis machine on the stand, and offered help. A strong wind and uneven ground then raised the tally of • misfortunes jto three, for the next thing j that happened was that the unattended motor-cycle toppled over into the I creek.
