Collision between Motor Car and Tram Car.
A MAN SERIOUSLY INJURED
CHRISTCHURCH, February 23. # Mr S. R. Merrett, shops manager o'f the Christchurch Meat Company, was seriously injured last night in a collision between a motor car and tramcar on the Lincoln road.
It appears that Mr Merrett summoned Dr. Diamond to attend his wife who was in u critical condition, and both were proceeding to Mervett's house in a motor car. When near Clarence road a stray horse wandered across the Lincoln road, and the motor-car in attempting to pass round it collided by some means or other with an electric tram car which was proceeding in the opposite direction. The motor car was completely wrecked, three of the wheels being torn off, and the occupants were thrown on to the road.
Merrett received a fractured skull, and was rendered unconscious, but Dr. Diamond was only slightly injured. Merrett had not regained consciousness up to 5 o'clock this afternoon.
