FATAL COLLISION
MOTOR-CYCLE AND CAR
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
HAWERA, This Day,
As the result of severe head injuries received late last night when the motor-cycle he was riding collided with a car at Normanby, William Hunt, a Maori, died in the Hawera Hospital this morning.
The accident occurred close to the township, the car involved being driven by Wilfred Brett, accountant of the Bank of New Zealand, Kaponga. It was raining heavily at the time and visibility is stated to have been bad.
An X-ray examination revealed that a handle of one of the car's doors was completely buried in Hunt's skull, entering the top of the head and travelling towards the left ear, causing brain laceration.
