SERIOUS MOTORING ACCIDENT.
BUGGY SMASHED, AND LADIES INJURED.
NARROW ESCAPE FROM FATALITY.
A very serious motoring accident occurred yesterday on the Puhoi-Wai-wera road. It is extraordinary that it was not attended by fatal results,
It appears thst Miss Lizzie Scholium (sister of Mr John Scholium, juu.), accompanied by Miss Spencer, was driving a buggy from Waiwera to Puhoi when tho accident occurred. The buggy was about to round one of the turns when a large car coming from the opposite direction . dashed into it.
The horses swung to the embankment and the car missed them and hit the buggy, carrying it, it is said, some yards. Miss Scholium was thrown across tho car, and Miss Spencer under tho horses' feet. The buggy was entirely smashed.
The car took the ladies on to Puhoi, where it was found that they were suffering from bruises, cuts, and shock, but" surprised that they had got off so well.
