This is all that was left of Ian O'Brien's A.35 car after it hit a post and somersaulted into a ditch near Waihirere last month. Mr O'Brien, who comes from Palmerston North, was travelling from Rotorua to Gisborne at the time. He and his passenger, Miss Maureen Sheely, Taumarunui, were discharged from Cook Hospital after a short stay.
