BABY ON RAILWAY LINE
MOTHER’S THIGH BROKEN [ Special “Chronicle” Service ] AUCKLAND, April 15. While her baby lay between the railway rails at Al air station and a train passed over it without touching it, Airs D. Rice, of Whangarei, was dragged along the line and her thigh was broken. Airs Rice, who is 19 years of age, was preparing to alight from the OpuaWhangarei train at Alair. She had the baby in one arm and parcels in the other and she went, out on to the carriage platform. The train gave a sudden jerk and she was thrown out between the train and the station platform. The train, slowing down, dragged her along the line and she suffered a comminuted fracture of one thigh. The baby, one-year-old, was shaken but not injured.
