three NZR Road Services buses, one on its side, 1959


A scene captured by an Evening Post photographer on the Lower Hutt side of the Wainuiomata Hill Road on 10 December 1959 after the Leyland Comet had capsized on the curve visible on a rainy day.  The other two are Bedfords.  The tow truck was a World War 2 Scammell (now in Richardson's Truck Museum in Invercargill?).

This road has long been four lane, but is still steep and twisty.
