MOTOR-BUSES COLLIDE.
NINE PASSENGERS INJURED. Auckland, July 11. Flying glass and timber caused injuries to nine passengers when two buses belonging to the Progressive Bus Company collided on the Great North Road at Avondale shortly after midday to-day. Two passengers—M. McKenzie (New Lynn) and Hardly (Newton) —were detained in hospital, the former suffering from a fractured right arm and the latter from injuries to the head, which are not regarded as serious. The remainder of the passengers sustained cuts and bruises which were amenable to first aid ’treatment given on the spot, and in the hospital casualty wards. The force of the impact was sufficient to rip out the sides of the buses. One bus pulled up against an electric line pole carrying high and low tension wires, but the impact was not strong enough to break the poles or wires. It was raining at the time of the accident.
