ACCIDENT TO 16-G4.

Damage to Off-side Front Wing & Possibly to Dumb Iron.

Whilst going down Addison Rd., towards Osmaston Rd., this morning, this car was run into at the cross roads to the car park by a Renault belonging to Mr. Welsh.

16-G4. was stationary with the front about 1/3 across the cross road, when the Renault travelling much faster hit the off-side front wing, turning 16-G4 round which was again hit by the Renault's back wing - the latter car coming to rest about 30 feet further down the road.
