FATAL MOTOR SMASH.
CAR OVERTURNS ON A ROAD. By Telegraph—Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night. A motor accident, in which Eric Lyford, aged 28, was killed, and Walter Gi'lison suffered severe head wounds, occurred at Kaikoura this evening. The car was rounding a bend, when the rear right tyre burst, and the car swerved over at the side of the road into a deep depression. The right fore wheel collapsed, and the ear overturned, but righted itself again. The occupants were thrown through the wind-screen. They both got up, and after walking about fifteen yards, Lyford collapsed, and Gibson fell unconscious. On the arrival of a doctor, Lyford was dead. The deceased, who was manager of the Hapuka Dairy Factory, had accepted a lift from Gibson. He leaves a widow and two children.
