WOMAN KILLED.
KNOCKED DOWN BY BUS. FATALITY AT WELLINGTON. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Thursday. An unknown married woman, aged about thirty-five, was run over and killed instantly by a railway bus at the intersection of Stout and Featherston Streets last night. The only clue to her identity is supplied by a wedding ring, on the inside of which are engraved the initials “J.H.—M.L.V.’ 3/2/30.”
The bus, which was driven by P. J. Carroll, was one of those used on the Wellington-Lower Hutt run. It is customary for these buses to go a short distance along the road past the Lambton railway station in order to turn round. It was while the bus was turning round that the woman was knocked down and killed. She was apparently crossing the road. The driver of the bus stopped quickly, and after a hurried investigation communicated with the police. Loath must have been instantaneous, for one of the wheels passed over the woman’s head.
