ACCIDENTS AND FATALITIES.
TRAIN" AND MOTOR CAR COLLIDE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Hokitika, Last Night. A serious accident happened at the Hokitika railway and traffic bridge this afternoon. When a train from Rosb was approaching Hokitika, a car, driven by Mrs. W. J. Butler, with Mrs. A. E. Gregory as a passenger, met the train headon. The train was fast pulling up. When the collision appeared inevitable, Mrs. Gregory jumped out, receiving a bad injury to her head, and her right arm being badly crushed above the elbow. Mrs. Butler, who remained in the car, was uninjured, the car being pushed back by the engine, only the steering gear being damaged. The condition of Mrs. Gregory is very serious.
