Two Motor-Vehicles Involved

WAIPUKURAU, This Day. Two motor vehicles which met on a one-way bridge a short distanC© out of Waipukurau at 11.30 o'clock this morning, suffered fairly extensive damage, but both drivers and a passenger in one of the cars all escaped injury. The cars collided on a concrete bridge, known as Norris's Bridge, on the Porangahau road, about four miles out of Waipukurau. A light truck driven by Mr Nicholas James Sciascia, contractor, of Porangahau, was proceeding towards Porangahau when it collided with a car travelling towards Waipukurau and driven by Mr Dennis Lonsdale Glenny, farmer, of Wanstead. Mrs Frank Sciascia was a passenger in the light truck driven by her brother-in-law. Both cars had to be brought into Waipukurau by breakdown trucks. It is not known exactly how the accident occurred, as there is a clear view for some distance at each side of the bridge, and prominent notices are displayed.
