LAND AGENT INJURED.
CAR COLLIDES AVITH TELEGRAPH POLE.
About 3.30 on Sunday morning the constable on duty at the corner of Princes street and the Anderson’s Bay road heard a loud report, and, on investigating, he found that a motor car, which had evidently travelled along Crawford street on the wrong side, had run on to the footpath on the south side of Anderson’s Bay road, where it had come into violent collision with a telegraph pole. The constable discovered the driver of the car, Mr Paterson, a land agent, lying beside the vehicle in an unconscious condition. The car, a Jewett, was damaged beyond repair. It was removed on Sunday morning, but traces of the accident were plainly visible, as the force of the impact had left the telegraph pole slightly out of plumb, and a plentiful supply of broken glass littered the water-table.
