ACCIDENT IN GORGE.
MOTOR-CAR DAMAGED MACHINE STRIKES BLUFF. On Wednesday night a Buick tourer while proceeding in the direction of Karangahahe after a dance at Waikino met with a sudden check in the gorge. While taking the nasty corner round the bluff, the front wheels jumped on ah outcropping rock, interfering with the steering, with the result that the car crashed into the cliff before there was any chance of stopping it. Such was the force of the impact that the front undercarriage was torn off and the front axle bent like a hoop, while the steering gear suffered a total eclipse. Fortunately no one was hurt, and a local breakdown lorry later towed the car to where attention could be given it.
