COLLISION AT LEVEL CROSSING
YOUNG MAN KILLED. By Telegraph -Press Association AUCKLAND, December 0. Fatal head injuries were received by Trevor Gubb, aged 20, of Hoteo, when the dray in which he was riding to his home was struck by the southbound express at the Hoteo level crossing on Saturday afternoon. Gubb was thrown from the dray and struck his head on the road. He died shortly after admission to the Auckland hospital. The dray was smashed to pieces, but the shafts broke oil and the horse had a miraculous escape from harm. The crossing is a few chains south of Hoteo station, at which the express does not stop, and is regarded as particularly dangerous. A cutting on each side of the road and a bend in the line prevent anything from being seen either from the’road or th • train until the crossing is reached. Gubb was employed by his father. N' T. A. Gubb. a well-known farmer of Hoteo and Kaipara Mats
