A most extraordinary accident occurred on the Napier Road yesterday afternoon, when a collision took place between a car driven by a llawkc's Day motorist and a motor lorry. Mr. Burlace, of Palmerston North, was coming in from Woodville with a load of furniture on his motor lorry, and when just on the brow of Hop'kirk's Hill, at Stoney Creek, ho collided with a motor-car coming in the opposite direction, with the result Hint the off far wheel of the lorry was shattered. Tho force of the impact caused the motor-car lo turn over and roll down the hill, and it eventually brought up upside down on tho top of an unfinished culvert. Fortunately this had qot yet got a top on, and the driver, who "had kept his seat, fell into the opening and was thus savjd from being crushed by the weight of the car. Onlookers naturally expected the driver to be badly injured', but on reaching tho spot it was found that he had escaped with a few (bruises and a shaking, white liot much damage was done to the car.
