ALMOST A FATALITY
CAR SMASHED AT CROSSING PASSENGERS’ CLOSE CALL (From Our Oven Correspondents) DARGAVILLE, Thursday. Apparently thinking that he had stopped sufficiently far from the line to clear a train that was approaching the Whatoro railway crossing to-day. Mr. Roberts, who was accompanied by his wife and other members of his family and friends in a new car, miraculously escaped injury when the steps of the front carriage caught the car a glancing blow, turned it round and broke both front wheels and dented the chassis. The impact was so severe that one step of the carriage was also broken off. The motor party was proceeding to Trounson Kauri Park, and the train was coming from Terawhati when the accident occurred.
