SHOCK FOR MOTORIST
MISSLE STRIKES CAR. [Per Press Association], INVERCARGILL, September 15. A motorist received a shock this morning when he was driving along the main road from Invercargill to Riverton, near Wright’s bush, when a missle knocked a large hole in the windscreen and gashed the driver and his passenger with the glass then passed between them and went through the rear glass. No sound was heard by the motorist and there was no other car on the road at the time. He stopped the car and got out, but could see no one in the vicinity. If the holes were made by a stone, it must have been thrown with tremendous force, yet a bullet would, in ordinary circumstances, have made only a small hole. The occurrence has been reported to the police.
