Car and Lorry Collide
A car driven by the Catholic Priest journeying to Waiahou for the funeral of the late Mr Edward Fitzgerald was involved in a collision with a logging truck driven by Mr Waugh, of Murupara. The truck belonged to Mr Terry London of Te Whaiti. The collision took place in the Bluff on the Whaka-tane-Murupara Road. The Priest’s car was severely damaged and was removed by a breakdown truck dispatched from Rotorua. The logging truck, although damaged, was off the road only one day. The priest after the accident walked some four miles to perform his religious duties. Considering the condition of the vehicles it is very fortunate that neither driver* was hurt.
