PLUNGED INTO STREAM.
TWO MEN IN MOTOR TRUCK.
ONE PINNED UNDER WATER.
BOTH INJURED, BUT RECOVER
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)
OTOROHANGA, this day.
Two employees of the Waitomo Power Board, Messrs. A. Hoskins and Burley, were going in a motor-truck to attend to a milking plant about five o'clock last night when the truck struck the rail of a bridge over a small stream on the Waipa River Road, close to Otorohanga.
The rail was torn away and the truck with its two occupants plunged into the stream. Hoskins was pinned under the truck, but he was rescued by passers-by, and revived. Dr. Gilberd was summoned and he found that Burley had a fractured shoulder blade and an injured head, and Hoskins an injured head and water on the lungs. Both are now recovering.
