THROWN FROM JEEP
NURSE FATALLY INJURED (P.A.) AUCKLAND, Jan. 0. Two nurses were injured, one fatally, when a jeep in which they were riding struck a stone wall on the seaward side of the waterfront road near the Kohlmarama wharf about 10 o’clock last night. They were Miss Aleida Johanna Barbara Bonnie Smit, aged 22, of Point Chevalier, who died in hospital, and Miss Ann Maud Alpin, aged 24, of Charles street, Napier, who suffered concussion and facial injuries, and was in a serious condition to-day. When the jeep struck the wall both nurses were thrown on to the hard stone beach 15ft below. The three other occupants of the jeep, including the driver, were not injured, as the vehicle skidded alongside the wall and swung back to the road.
