TWO MOTORISTS INJURED THIRD PASSENGER’S ESCAPE Press Association PUKEKOHE, Sunday. Two youths were seriously injured and another was hurled about 6yds, but escaped injury, when a motorcycle and side-car on which the three were riding crashed into a power-line pole on the Pukekohe-Buckland Road yesterday afternoon. Those injured were: Alan Ross, of Paerata. Broken arm, injury to one leg and extensive bruises. Kenneth Evans, of Pukekohe, injuries to both eyes and deep cut on the head. Both the injured youths were admitted to a private hospital at Pukekohe, and Ross was later sent to the Auckland Hospital for an X-ray examination. Evans remains at the hospital. The cycle was driven by Ross, with Evans in the side-car, and the third youth, Thomas Hogan, of Pukekohe, was on the carrier. The accident occurred about a mile and a-half from Pukekohe at a turn in the road at the foot of Deed’s Hill. The machine careered across the water-table and collided with the post. The cycle was badly damaged. A taxicab arrived soon after the accident, and took the injured men to the hospital. The party were going to a football match at Tuakau when the accident occurred.
