SHOCKING FATALITY.
MOTHER KILLED; DAUGHTERS INJURED. LEVEL-CRSSING MENACE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Levin, Last Night. A shocking fatality occurred at a railway crossing just south of Levin, this afternoon, when the north-bound Auckland express crashed into a gig, the occupants of which were Mrs. Narby, wife of A- Narby, a farmer, of Tararua Road, and her two daughters. Mrs. Narby was killed, and the daughters were seriously injured. The horse was killed and the vehicle completely wrecked. At the scene the road runs parallel with the railway for some distance, and then turns across the line. An onlooker states the occupants of the trap appeared to be watching a train about to start from the Levin yards and were oblivious of the approach of the express. The injured girls were taken to the Palmerston North Hospital.
