CAR STRIKES BUS
LITTLE DAMAGE DONE COLLISION IN ANZAC AVENUE Shortly before 11 o’clock this morning a four-seater car driven by Mr. W. C. Lord, Onehunga, collided with a bus at the intersection of Alten Road and Anzac Avenue. The left-hand front wheel of the car was smashed to pieces, the mudguard crumpled, and the radiator driven baqk on the engine. The driver was unhurt . A woman in the bus received a severe shaking and is is said to be suffering from shock. The bus escaped with slight damage. The driver of the car, Mr. H. Lord, was coming up Alten Road toward the city, in second gear, and saw the bus coming down Anzac Avenue at a fair speed. Thinking he would pass behind the bus, Mr. Lord kept on, but the bus sloped down slightly, and -he struck it in the centre. The bus swerved to avoid the collision and applied both brakes immediately, but without effect. The damage to the car is estimated at approximately £ls.
