The car was proceeding down hill toward the Maungaturoto Hotel when /or some unaccountable reason the car left the road and went over a bank, turning over several times. Mr. Peacock summoned help, and Dr. Dawson, of Paparoa, arrived shortly after. He ordered Messrs. Dodds, Hardy and King to the hospital, and on arrival at the Whangarei Hospital Mr. Hardy was found to have died en route. Messrs. Dodds and King are reported to be progressing favourably today.
