The car was left by its owner, Mr. A. W. Douglas, of Waikouaiti, on a rise outside First Church with the handbrake full on. A short time "later when he returned his car had disappeared.
An eye-witness of the accident said he saw the car jump the kerb, going backward, and saw it strike the girl, pinning her against the wall..
When taken to the hospital the girl was still conscious and her condition is regarded as serious.
