The bursting of a front tyre of a fight two-seater motor car which was proceeding along Main street east towards Terrace .End about 10 p.m. yesterday was attended by a sensational sequel. According to the driver, who is a Wellington resident, he was unable to keep the machine straight after the burst. After going about half a chain the motor car struck an electric light post on the right-hand side of the road and swerved off again, zig-zagging about the road until the right rear wheel collapsed and the machine linally came to rest with the bonnet lying just flush with a second pole on the right-hand side of the street.
