LOADED BUS CRASHES
PASSENGERS ESCAPE LIGHTLY (From Our Oxen Correspondent) NEW PLYMOUTH, Today. A motor-bus, full of passengers on their way back from a dance at Okato early yesterday morning, ran into a bank at the foot of the Katikara Hill on the main coast road. No one was badly hurt, but several received cuts and bruises and one man suffered slight concussion. The accident was caused by a skid in a patch of loose metal at the foot of the hill. The bus swerved and crashed sideways into a clay bank, the windows being smashed and the whole of one side damaged. It almost capsized. but luckily stopped after the first plunge.
