He sounded the gong and the man seemed to stop and stagger. He then applied the emergency brake but the man was struck by the advertisement side of the car and knocked down. The injured man was carried to the Central Hotel with the assistance of a solider. He never regained consciousness on being admitted to hospital and died at 8am the following morning. light-rail trains transport communitygroups karori places localhistory Thu, 07 Mar 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://friendsofkaroricemetery.co.nz/killed-by-a-tram/ Friends of Karori Cemetery 2024-03-07T00:00:00Z -41.2762506 174.7510311704571 Karori Cemetery, Northland, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, New Zealand https://www.plimmerton.nz/community-projects/taupo-swamp-and-catchment-science-mural-for-the-rail-underpass/ Working with Friends of the Taupo Swamp and Catchment, Plimmerton School, scientists and advisors, under the guidance of artist teacher Margaret Tolland Plimmerton Residents’ Association is working on the production for a large mural to go opposite the new rail mural in the underpass.

The mooring appears to have broken below the waterline and the vessels were swept onto the rail bridge with the incoming tide.  Coastguard Mana were alerted to a Facebook post a member of the public had posted and went to invetigate. After assessing the situation it was decided to get them off quickly to minimise damage and risk to trains. A callout was activated and a number of people responded to tow them off the bridge and into the marina.
