TRAIL OF GLASS
ARREST OF MOTORIST HIT-AND-RUN OFFENCE ALLEGED (Per United Press Association) HASTINGS, Feb. 11. A painstaking search in which they drove over many miles of country roads picking up fragments of glass led to the arrest of a 25-year-old man late to-night, on a charge arising out of a hit-and-run accident at 4 p.m., in which an elderly woman was seriously injured. The victim was Mrs Ingred Cook, of Havelock North, who was admitted to hospital with multiple injuries. Mrs Cook was cycling along the main road from Hastings to Havelock North when she was struck by a light truck at an intersection. The vehicle did not stop, and Mrs Cook was found lying unconscious on the roadway. The police were informed and Constables B. Farquharson and W. S. Craigie began searching a wide area. The glass was traced to a farm, where a truck was found with a headlamp broken. An arrest was subsequently made.
