CABLE CAR HITS TRAILER
ELDERLY WOMAN INJURED By Telegraph—Press Association DUNEDIN, February 24 An elderly woman received injuries necessitating her removal to hospital, and other passengers received bruises and a shaking, when a Momington cable car collided with a stationary trailer at the tram terminus this morning. The car was reaching its destination, from the city, when a bunch developed in the rope, behind the gripper. The gripman was unable to check the car's progress in time to prevent it striking the trailer, which was pushed off the line and across a turntable, to come to rest against the kerb outside a shop. Miss Mary White was bumped off the tram, receiving injuries to the head and face abrasions.
