An accident involving the death of a man and serious injuries to two women occurred 2\ miles north of Ashburton on Saturday evening, when a motor horse float and a motor-car collided. The float was driven by Walter George Ervines, motor mechanic, Christchurch, and contained also Mrs. Steel, Spreydon, Christchurch, and three men besides three horses. The car was driven by James Lott, contractor, aged 37, Amberley, who was accompanied by his wife.
