ACCIDENTS & FATALITIES.
( A MOTOR ACCIDENT
(Per Press Association.) Timaru, December 3. A motor car accident which is likely to result fatally to one of the occupants occurred in town this afternoon. James Esler, a well-to-do farmer of Sutherlands, was leaving town for home in his car, accompanied by W. Wall, of Pleasant Point, and Mr and Mrs Sutherland, a young couple. He had gone down a steep grade at a good pace to the opposite rise, and at the foot changed his mind and turned into a street along the hollow. The car skidded and capsized, and threw all four out, and Esler was pinned with his head crushed beneath the side footboard. Wall sustained a broken wrist. Mr and Mrs Sutherland were merely shaken.
