Walter and son Jack in an accident
Dec 1929 CAR GOES OVER BANK - Accident at Waimea. Serious head injuries were sustained by a roadman, Walter Gambirazzi, in an accident at Waimata Valley late yesterday afternoon, when a car went over the bank and as a result the injured man was admitted to the Cook Hospital last evening. The driver of the car, Valentine Bayne, another roadman, was unhurt. It appears that Mr Bayne drove Mr Gambirazzi and his son, Jack Gambirazzi, down the road at Waimata to fetch some horses from the vicinity of Mr M. B. Mander's homestead and on the return journey Mr Gambirazzi jun., drove the horses, while his father and Mr Bayne followed behind in the car. On the way the car had to cross a low bridge and it was necessary for the driver to change down into second gear to negotiate the steep rise at the farther end of the structure. At this point the road was very narrow and while Mr Bayne was changing gears the car ran off the road and over the bank into the creek. As the car went over the bank Mr Gambirazzi was thrown out and sustained injuries to his back and serious injuries to his head. Mr Bayne was unhurt and he and another man brought Mr Gambirazzi into town for medical attention, the doctor ordering his removal to hospital.
