Cars and Motor-cycle, Collide TWO MEN IN HOSPITAL

(From

WAIROA, Last Night. A serious accident occurred this afternoon at J;he intersection of Carroll street and Mahia Avenue in the North Clyde area, as a result of which two men were sent to the Wairoa Hospital seriously injured. It appears that a car, driven by Mrs. Fred Ramlose, was proceeding to Frasertown, and another, driven by a Maori, Mr. Pango Mitchell, was almost on the intersection, but in front of Mrs. Ramlose's ear, and going to Ruataniwha, when a' motor-cycle, with a pillion rider, appeared on the scene, and seemed about to try and cross betwuen the two cars. To avoid a collisioii, Mr. Mitchell swerved a little, and as a result thc motor-cycle and car eollided and bot'h crashed into Mrs Ramlose's ear, a general mix-up resulting. The driver of the motor-cycle, Mr. Desmond Wady, of Wanganui, and his pillion-rider, Mr. Clifford Wolland, of Lower Hutt, both Public Works employees, suffered serious injuries, and were taken to the Wairoa Hospita Mrs. Ramlose sustained facial cuts, and her husband and Mr. Mitchell received minor injuries, but after some attention they were able to proceed home, All the vehicles were badly smashed. Inquiries at the hospital elicited the information that the two injured men were suffering from serious abrasions and shock, but are making progress.
