ANOTHER MOTOR MISHAP.
TWO PERSONS BADLY INJURED. New Plymouth, Jan. 12. A motor car, driven by Mr A. H. Honuor, of New Plymouth, a coachbuilder, turned turtle this afternoon at the foot of Big Jim’s hill, a steep part of a country road near Waitara. Some of the occupants were seriously injured. With Mr Honnor were Mrs Honnor and a little son, Mrs T. W. Fisher, wife of Mr Fisher, Undersecretary of Native Affairs, Wellington, Miss Fisher and Miss Butler (Mrs Honnor’s sister). The account of an eye-witness states that an explosion occurred as though the tyre tube had burst. The car skidded and the back wheel collapsed, the car capsizing. Mrs lusher sustained a fracture of the base of the skull, and Mr Honnor was also seriously hurt, being rendered unconscious. Miss Fisher and the boy were unhurt, and Miss Butler was only slightly injured. At 11 o’clock this evening there was no change in the condition of the two patients.
