REMARKABLE COLLISION.
CAR HITS ’BUS. MOTOR-CYCLIST ALSO INVOLVED. Per Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, Sept. 26. A remarkable collision occurred on the Cam bridge at Kaiapoi this morning when a car coming from a sharp corner struck the Oxford-Christchurcn ’bus, containing thirty passengers, a heavy blow on the side. The ’bus swerved across the bridge and hit some posts, tearing away the railing. Then it jarpmed a motor-cyclist, Harold Harwood, against a post. Harwood had a miraculous escape. He was thrown over the railing of the bridge and landed on the bank below, suffering only a few bruises. The ’bus finished with the right front wheel hanging over the river which, at this spot, is ten feet deep. No one else was hurt. The car was badly damaged but the ’bus was not severely knocked about.
