Remarkable Escape

Six Miss Death in Papuan Accident

From Our Own Correspondent.

Port Moresby, July 2.

WHAT might have proved a very serious accident, occurred on June 23 on the Rona Road, about 20 miles out from Port Moresby, when a motor car, containing three ladies, a driver and two natives, crashed over the edge of a hairpin bend in the road, while overtaking a lorry.

Down a sheer drop of many hundreds of feet, the car overturned and somersaulted five times before it came to rest on the road below. At each turn a passenger was thrown out on the rocks, and it was only before the final crash onto the road that the driver, Mr. Foldi, was thrown out.

All the passengers were extremely for tunate to have escaped with their lives, though two of the ladies suffered severely from cuts and abrasions. They were taken down to the European Hospital immediately.
