BUS AND CAR.
COLLIDE ON BRIDGE. CYCLIST NEARLY KILLED. NARROW ESCAPE OF THIRTY PASSENGERS. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. A' remarkable collision occurred on the Cam Bridge at Ivaiapoi this morning when a small motor car coming from a sharp comer struck the Oxford-Christ-church bus, containing thirty passengers, a heavy blow on the side. The bus swerved across tha bridge and hit some posts and tore away the railing. Then it jammed a motor cyclist, Mr. Harold Harwood, against a post. Sir. Harwood had a miraculous escape from being killed. He was thrown over the rail of the bridge, and landed on a bank below. He is suffering only a few bruises. The bus finished with its right front wheel hanging over the river, where the water is ten feet deep. No one else was hurt. The small car was badly smashed, but the bus was not severely damaged.
