The driver of the ear, John William Campbell, aged 50, married, residing at Orakipao, suffered severe injuries and died shortly after admission to Timaru Hospital.
A passenger in the car, Steven Cebalo, middle-aged, married, residing at Temuka, was dead when taken from the car. which was impaled on the front of the engine, the back wheels being lifted sufficiently high to clear the station platform.
