CAR CRASHES OVER BANK
PASSENGER KILLED I Per Presr Association.) AUCKLAND, Dec. 4. A single man, Adrian Oswal Alison, aged 20, of Helensville, was fatally injured when a motor-car in which he was a passenger crashed over a low bank just beyond the Mount Rex railway station at Helensville, on the Kaukapakapa main highway. The driver of the car, Len Gray, of Helensville suffered a broken collar bone and was taken to a private hospital in Helensville. Alison was taken to hospital with extensive injuries to the chest and broken ribs. He died about two hours after the accident. The ambulance was called from Auckland, but the man was too severely injured to be brought to the city. Before the crash the car struck a series of potholes in the road and got out of control. It swerved to both sides of the road and then careered over the bank landing with wheels uppermost. Three young children who were also in the car were affected by shock, but were uninjured.
