TWO COACH ACCIDENTS.
Gisboknk, March 13. Two coach accidents occurred this morning.
As the Gisborue-Morere-Wairoa coach was proceeding down the Kopua Hill between Muriwai and Wharerata, the pole broke. Although the driver kept his horses well under control the coach could not be steered, and it overturned, five passengers and the driver being thrown heavily. Miss Roff, the only lady passenger had her arm broken. The other travellers and the driver escaped with a severe bruising. The second accident happened to the Tolaga Bay coach on the Beach Road at Waihou. The vehicle capsized on some rocks and the passengers, their baggage, and the mails were precipated into the water. Fortunately all escaped serious injury, but the mails were considerably damaged by water.
