When nearing the racecourse they noticed a ear approaching with very bright headlights. The party had walked to the side of the road when Dr. Ring’s car came from behind and caught Bezant with its mudguard. The youth was swung round and his head hit a door of the car. Bezant was taken to the Matamata hospital for immediate treatment, and was then sent to tne Waikato hospital. Bezant was still unconscious when he was conveyed to the Waikato hospital on Saturday.
