AddBy: Rosalie Sugrue10th Jul 2021 4:03PMAs one of the '3 young ladies' I can add further information. I was not sitting on the right side with my mates. The two facing bench seats were quite small. I was sitting with the guard on the left. That side of the van, hitched behind the tender was sliced off due to the cure in the track, that we survived was miraculous. He had risen less than a minute before the crash and was doing something with newspapers when I saw something I wanted to point out to my hostel-mates mates (Anne from Blenheim and Lyn from Masterton, neither of whom had ever been to the West Coast). I stood and pointed and said look and was hurtled forward with the loudest bang I'd ever heard and came to beside my unconscious mates laid out beside me on the ground. Rosalie Reynolds
