ACCIDENT AT EKETAHUNA.
MAN STEPS IN FRONT OF CAR
While motoring a few miles south of Eketahuna yesterday on liis way home, Air E. C. Turner, managingdirector of the firm of Turner and Growers, Auckland, had the misfortune to strike a man who had stepped from behind a stationary vehicle. It appears that Air Turner had arrived at a one-way bridge almost simultaneously with a, horse-float, and both vehicles stopped. Air Turner then proceeded, on. and just as he was passing over the bridge a man employed by Alessrs Bray and Co., road contractors, stepped from behind the float right into the path of the incoming car. Luckily, the latter was not run down, but lie received a severe jolting, and so Mr Turner conveyed him to Eketahuna for medical treatment, where Dr. Simmons found he had escaped with minor bruising and shaking. After reporting the accident to the police at Pahiatua Air Turner proceeded on his way to Auckland.
