CARS IN SOLID MASS
AUCKLAND TRAFFIC JAM
WORST EVER EXPERIENCED
There was confusion on the waterfront, road at Auckland for about two hours oil Wednesday night, when the worst traffic jam ever experienced there occurred on over more than a mile of the highway during the Auckland Harbor Board’s, display of fireworks off Point Resolution.
Thousands of motor vehicles of all descriptions ranging from motor-cycles to heavy buses became wedged into a solid mass extending from kerb t.o kerb and even across the footpaths in places. Minor collisions occurred every other minute, and several people were hurt. A cyclist suffered a broken arm. St. John Ambulance Brigade members worked under extreme difficulties. Nobody was admitted to hospital.
