SENSATIONAL SMASH DRIVER INJURED BUT DISAPPEARS CYCLIST KNOCKED DOWN (Per United Press Association.) Auckland, September 26. A sensational smash occurred in Mt Eden road early this morning when a two-seater car driven by a man in. evening dress overturned, ran backwards and crashed into the side of a house, smashing the windows of one room. The driver was slightly injured but later disappeared. He is being sought by the police. It is believed that the same car was involved in another accident a few minutes earlier when a man was knocked down and injured. The driver, although warned to stop, drove on. A constable who heard the crash of the car rushed along the road to a taxi, but valuable time was lost because the taxi-driver was sound asleep. The constable found Robert Done, aged 30, lying in the roadway, having been knocked from his cycle. His injuries are not serious.
