Two soldiers from Papakura military camp and a civilian were injured I and their motor-cars were wrecked in I a collision on the Great South Road on Saturday.

Power, aged 30, lacerated arm; discharged after treatment. David Ross Turner, farm hand, single, aged 19, double fracture of the left arm. A car driven by Gunner Stanaway ran into the back of Mr Turner's smaller car. which it was overtaking. The force of the impact threw Turner through the sidecurtains of his car on to the road and this undoubtedly saved him from much more serious injury. His car turned over, rolled down a bank and crashed into a telegraph pole. The other car careered forward and collided with the next telegraph pole. Both cars were coming to Auckland. Mr Turner was taken to private hospital and the soldiers to the Auckland Hospital. A third soldier in Gunner Stanaway’s car escaped injury.
