CARS COLLIDE AT WINTON

SMALL CHILD INJURED A car coming out of a side street on to the Great North road at Winton on Tuesday evening caused two cars going in opposite directions to collide and resulted in a 15 months old child, daughter of Mr and Mrs Moylan, of South Hillend, suffering a severe wound to her tongue, necessitating the insertion of several stitches. She also suffered a cut lip and a bruise on her forehead. Her condition last evening was satisfactory. The child was with her parents and Mrs Moylan suffered a sprained ankle and several bruises. The driver of the other car involved in the collision was Arthur James Hunt, of Invercargill, who suffered a broken thumb and general bruises. The accident occurred at the Grange street intersection. Hunt, who was driving north, had swerved to avoid the' car coming out of the street, which proceeded in a northerly direction and thus collided with the car driven by Moylan, which was going south. Both cars were extensively damaged. LOCAL BODY OFFICERS IN ACCIDENT CAR LEAVES ROAD ON BEND (United Press Association) OPOTIKI, June 7.
