FALL OF EIGHTY FEET.

CAR GOES OVER BANK. While a free ambulance vehicle was on its way to Plimmerton at 5.30 yesterday afternoon to pick up an accident case, it grazed past a closed-in motor car containing seven persons, which swerved and left the road, falling down an 'Boft. bank, turning over several times on the way. Fortunately none of the occupants of the sedan were very seriously injured, although two had to be removed to the hospital. Mrs Turner, of 2 Todman street, Brooklyn, sustained injuries to a thigh, whilst her daughter, Miss M. Turner, suffered concussion and shock. The others escaped with scratches. The car, which was being driven by Air A. Turner, was coming up the narrow road on the steep hill a few hundred yards outside Plimmerton, when the mishap occurred. The ambulance merely grazed it, but the sedan, when its driver tried to swing, clear, swerved and crashqd over the bank. The car was severely damaged. The injured poisons were attended to by the ambulance staff, who removed them to the Public Hospital. The ambulance also picked up Mr R. Greig, a farmer, of Plimmerton, who had sustained severe injuries to his back while playing football, and took him to the hospital.
