LUCKY ESCAPES
ACCIDENT NEAR TE WI-JITI. CARS BADLY DAMAGED. The drivers and passengers in two motor-cars involved in a collision at Te Whiti on Saturday evening had remarkable escapes from serious injury. The heavier of the two cars, a taxi driven by Mr H. R. Cross, was travelling towards Gladstone and the other car, driven by Mr O. Williams, of Tyneside, was coming in to Masterton. After a severe impact, the taxi broadsided along a fence, ripping out a length of posts. The other car somersaulted several times and Mr Williams received cuts about the face and head. Mr Cross and his three passengers escaped injury. Both cars were very extensively damaged.
