TWO LIVES LOST
GRANDMOTHER AND CHILD
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
STBATFOKD, This Day.
Lives we're lost when a motor-car capsized over a bank at Pohokura on the line of the Stratford Main Trunk railway last night. The car was driven by A. V. Helmslcy, a carpenter of the Public Works Department at Tangarakau, who had with him his mother, Mrs. Beatrice Annie Helmsley, aged 48, and his sou Victor Keith Helmsley, aged four. The car fell into two feet of water, and the child was pinned underneath and killed instantly. Mrs. Helmsley was extricated with difficulty, and died on the way to the Stratford Hospital. The party left Tangarakau yesterday to visit Mr. Helmsley's wife, who is in hospital at Stratford. The tragedy occurred on the return journey.
