CHILD’S EYE HURT IN CAR
STONE SPLINTERS WINDSCREEN. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, April 4. An extraordinary accident, which may have serious consequences for the victim, the daughter of a well-known medical man, happened on Saturday morning on the Riccarton Road. The doctor, who was motoring into the city with his daughter, heard a crash, of which he took little notice until he heard his daughter crying. Looking round he discovered that the child's eye was streaming , with blood from numerous cuts, and that glass splinters were in her eyes. A stone had etruck the wind shield, shattering it and flinging the fragments into the child’s face. The doctor at once drove to the hospital, where the glass fragments were extracted. Owing to the swollen state of the child's eyes he is unable to determine whether the injury is likely to have serious consequences.
