Driver thrown from truck<br />
Truck driver Craig Nash had a<br />
miraculous escape after being<br />
thrown from his crashing truck<br />
on the Southern Motorway on<br />
Wednesday.<br />
In spite of the crash he texted<br />
his boss, Peter Macdonald, from<br />
a hospital bed a few hours later<br />
asking if he was still needed<br />
for an urgent delivery in the<br />
afternoon.<br />
“I told him he didn’t need to<br />
worry about that. He is one lucky<br />
cookie,” Mr Macdonald said.<br />
Mr Nash was heading south to<br />
deliver goods in Wigram when<br />
his truck smashed through the<br />
middle divider, across two lanes<br />
of north-bound traffic before<br />
ending up in a ditch on the side<br />
of the road.<br />
A witness said oncoming traffic<br />
had to take evasive action to<br />
avoid the out-of-control vehicle<br />
as it crossed their lanes.<br />
He said a truck heading north<br />
had to do “the big swerve thing”<br />

to avoid a head-on collision.<br />
“There were cars and trucks<br />
that could have been hit,” he<br />
said.<br />
Mr Nash has been released<br />
from Christchurch Hospital.<br />
It was the second serious incident<br />
on Christchurch roads on<br />
Wednesday.<br />
A cyclist collided with a truck<br />
in the central city, suffering serious<br />
injuries.<br />
The cyclist was riding south<br />
on Manchester St when he was<br />
hit at the intersection of Armagh<br />
St and dragged underneath the<br />
small truck.<br />
A witness to the cyclist<br />
incident, who did not want<br />
to be named, said while she had<br />
her back to the crash it sounded<br />
“terrible”.<br />
“I didn’t see the crash but I<br />
heard it happen. When I looked<br />
around there were people<br />
standing around the man under<br />
the truck,” she said.<br />

Lincoln resident to<br />
play key role in show<br />
A Lincoln resident will be playing a key role in a<br />
National Academy of Singing and Dramatic Art<br />
show running this month.<br />
Third-year NASDA student Dearna Doglione<br />
will be playing a key role in their next show The<br />
Collective by feminist New Zealander playwright<br />
Jean Betts.<br />
The Collective uncovers German poet, playwright<br />
and theatre director Bertolt Brecht’s past and how<br />
he became highly respected in the theatrical world.<br />
Doglione’s role in the show is to play one of the<br />
women credited to significantly contributing to<br />
Brecht’s theatrical work.<br />
“Basically, he used intelligent women’s yearning<br />
to work together for “the cause” for his own desires;<br />
he seduced them into writing plays for him,”<br />
Doglione said.<br />
She said everyone who has studied acting has<br />
heard of the great Brechtian methods but the story<br />
will be uncovering the women behind his most<br />
famous works.<br />
The show will be directed by free-lance director<br />
Mel Luckman.<br />
“You don’t need to know anything about Brecht<br />
. . . it’s not a history lesson, it is not a history lesson,<br />
it is not a lecture but is very entertaining,” she said.<br />
The Collective will be performed at the NASDA<br />
Theatre based at the Ara Institute of Canterbury city<br />
campus on Madras St.<br />
The show will be running from <strong>May</strong> 13-19,<br />
7.30pm. Tickets are $18, ($12 concession). To book<br />
