LUCKY ESCAPES IN MOTOR SMASHES
COLLISIONS IN DUNEDIN Press Association. DUNEDIN, Thursday. Two motor accidents which occurred to-day were attended by remarkable escapes from serious injury. A car driven by Thomas Woolley
was proceeding along Princes Street South when it narrowly missed hitting a tram car. A second tram was quickly upon it, however, and a head-on collision resulted. The car was completely wrecked and the front portion of the tram was damaged. When the driver was released from the tangled mass of wreckage it was found that he was suffering from injuries to his head. He was removed to the hospital, but his injuries are not regarded as serious. A second accident occurred in City Road, Roslyn, when a car driven by Ernest Scanlan came into head-on collision with a taxi driven by Arthur
Clark. The car was thrown on to the footpath, where it overturned. Both the drivers, and two passengers who were in the taxi, were unhurt, but both cars were badly smashed.
