STREET ACCIDENT.
GIG AND MOTOK-CAE COLLIDE.
ißy TelcirraDh-Preti! Association.; Timaru, April 11. Iu order to avoid a collision with ft gig at a street crossing in a quiet part of the town this afternoon, the owner and driver turned a big motor-car too sharply round the corner, with the result that one of the hind wheels collapsed, and the car fell on its side, throwing out the driver and four or five young women passengers. The.cor nevertheless hit the gig behind, threw it forward, and capsized it. The driver of the car had his collarbone and one or more ribs broken. His sister and MissK. Ardagh, daughter of the proprietor of the Commercial ilotel, both suffered severely from concus-iou and bruises. The other occupants of the car escaped with scratches and bruises. The man in the gig (Mr. P. Butler) struck tho kerb with his head when ho fell. Ho was cut about the face, and later showed symptoms of skull fracture. Ambulance men did good service, before th'o doctors arrived, in removing tho patients—three of them—to the hospital. A tall hedge at the corner probably had something to do in bringing about tiio accident.
