KNOCKED DOWN
BY HIT AND RUN MOTORIST. WOMAN INJURED SERIOUSLY IN CHRISTCHURCH. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) . CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. A car, the driver of which failed to stop, knocked down Mrs Winifred Arnold, of Gloucester Street, on Saturday night, at the corner of Victoria, Kilmore and Durham streets. Mrs Arnold, who was seriously injured, was left lying on the roadway, but a taxi, which was proceeding in an opposite direction to the other car, saw the accident and picked her up. Although desirous of giving chase, the taxi driver said that he could not turn his car around in time to catch the other before it reached the intersection with Colombo Street, where it would have been impossible to find it in the crush of traffic at the time. He therefore picked up the injured woman and took her to the Christchurch Public Hospital, where her condition this morning was reported to be serious.
