SCHOOLBOY KILLED
KNOCKED DOWN BY CAR RAN behind other motor (From Our Own Correspondent.) TE AROHA, To-day. A boy named Kenneth Brinkley, aged seven years, was killed when he was struck by a motor-car on the Mangaiti Road late yesterday afternoon. The boy, with others had been given a ride home from school in another car. It stopped to allow him to alight, when a second car was approaching. Despite the warning of the driver to look out for the approaching car, the boy ran across the road from behind the stationary vehicle and was struck by the second car and killed instantaneously. Mr A. Wight was the driver of the car giving the children a lift, and Mr. H. A. Bush, of Thames, was the driver of the car which struck the boy. At the time of the accident it had slowed up, and was going very slowly. The boy’s parents were away in Thames at the time of the fatality.
