CAR AND TRUCK COLLIDE
BOTH (SERIOUSLY) DAMAGED. (By Telegraph.—-Press Association.) AUCKLAND, This Day. ' A collision between a motor-car and motor-truck occurred last evening in Dominion road, the driver of the car having a remarkable escape. The truck had been left outside a grocery store shortly before six o’clock. The car in passing struck the truck at the rear with such force that it carried it along the road for about ’4oft. There the truck broke away and the car swerved, hitting a telegraph post. The back axle of the truck was broken, the rear left wheel andj the front right wheel splintered and the run-ning-hoard ripped away and buckled. The car itself hit the post so heavily that the radiator was crumpled in concertina fashion, the engine being smashed and the parts scattered in all directions. The windscreens of both vehicles were also snattered.
