ACCIDENTS AND FATALITIES.
A young man named Alfred Griffen, employed in the U.S.S. Company's office, met with a severe accident on Tuesday evening. He was riding on the step of a tramcar at about 6 o'clock, and when near his own residence, not far from the Kerosene Bond, a four-wheeled vehicle coming in the opposite direction, ran into the car and jambed him against the side. The car was immediately stopped, and Griffen picked up and carried to his house by one of the passengers. Dr Teevan, who was communicated with after the accident, arrived promptly, and found on examining the sufferer that no bones had been broken, but that the young fellow had received severe internal injuries, and had his arm badly hurt. Sedatives were administered, and yesterday morning Dr Teevan found it necessary to perform an operation on the patient, who is now doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances. It is said that the vehicle that collided with the car was on the wrong side of the road, and that it was not carrying any lights. It was very dark at the. time of the accident, and consequently the trap was not seen by anyone in the car before the collision. -Otago Daily Times, 12/6/1890.
