HBH 1892 Nov 4 2 CLARK ACCIDENT A young man named Charles CLARK, assistant porter at the Napier Railway station, met with a shocking accident last evening, just after the 6 o'clock train for Hastings left the station. Some trucks had to be shunted and Clark was helping in the work and while passing in front of some moving trucks to get round the other side of them, he tripped on the metals and fell. The foremost truck passed over his right leg and his left foot and the former was shockingly shattered, and the heel of his left foot was taken off. Constable CREEKS, who was on duty at the station, at once ran over to where the injured man was lying, and with two handkerchiefs put an effectual tourniquet on each leg, thus preventing the rapid loss of blood that would otherwise have ensured. Dr. INNES was sent for, and upon arrival, finding that effectual tourniquets were effectually applied, ordered CLARK to be at once removed to the hospital and went up with him. Upon arrival it was found necessary to amputate the poor fellow's right leg and his left foot just above the ankle. This was done, and at a late hour last night the unfortunate sufferer was reported to be doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances.
