SKULL FRACTURED WOMAN KILLED BY VAN

(By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, April G. While crossing Remuera Road to use a telephone at the Remuera Post Office Mrs. Gertrude Atkinson, aged 46, was knocked down by a light delivery van tonight and killed. The van, driven by Willie Wong, a Chinese butcher, of Manukau Road, Epsom, was travelling towards Newmarket. Mrs. Atkinson had left her cake and confectionery business which is on the southern side and had almost reached the inward tram lines when she was struck and thrown heavily, the vehicle passing over her. The impact severely damaged the van's radiator grid. Mrs. Atkinson received a fracture of the skull and death occurred almost immediately. Evening Post, Volume CXXI, Issue 83, 7 April 1936, Page 6
