The train first crashed into a motor at a level crossing, killing four of the occupants. Then after an hour’s delay it resumed its journey, and while endeavouring to make up time by travelling at speed of 50 miles an hour it collided with another motor, the nine occupants of which were killed. Portions of the wreckage from the motor were hurled 200 ft along the track. —A. and N.Z. Cable.
