TWO MOTOR-CYCLES COLLIDE WITH CAR.

(Special to the “ Star.”) WELLINGTON, January 5. Two motor-cycles, each with a pillion rider, collided with a motor-car which was emerging from the Tawa Flat recreation ground at 4.30 p.m. yesterday. Of the four people, besides the motorist, who were concerned in the smash, three were taken by the city ambulance to the Wellington Hospital. No one was injured severely. Morris Raymond Adcock, of Yule Street, Kilbirnie, was riding a motorcycle toward Wellington, with Miss Iris Clark, of Bay Road, on the pillion seat. As he approached the fecreation ground at Tawa Flat a car was being driven out of the ground by a man named Ralston, of Tawa Flat. Adcock’s machine came into collision with the car, and both he and his passenger were thrown heavily. Another motorcycle, which was travelling behind Adcock, reached the car, and also collided with it. The second motor-cycle was driven by Charles Little, of Coutts Street, whose passenger was Miss Phyllis Swiney, of Rintoui Street. They also fell heavily. The ambulance was called at 4.35 p.m., and conveyed three of the motorcyclists to the hospital. Little suffered injuries to his right leg, Miss Clark injuries to her left leg and Miss Swiney abrasions to her face. All three were affected bv shock.
