Bus fire lights up southern motorway<br />
• By Nathan Morton<br />
A BUS caught fire on the<br />
southern motorway last<br />
Thursday morning.<br />
When firefighters got there<br />
the bus was well alight, Fire and<br />
Emergency NZ shift manager<br />
Simon Lyford said.<br />
There were no passengers on<br />
board, just the driver who was<br />
not injured.<br />
A fire crews from the<br />
Wigram and Rolleston stations<br />
responded after a call was<br />
received at 6.30am to report the<br />
bus was on fire.<br />
The motorway was closed<br />
while the blaze was brought<br />
under control.<br />
The fire was fully<br />
extinguished at 7.20am and the<br />
bus was then towed from the<br />
scene.<br />

for sport into a career’<br />
•From page 1<br />
Dixon-Searle was selected<br />
to represent New Zealand at<br />
the international showdown<br />
after finishing third in the<br />
80kg division at the 2022<br />
New Zealand Strongest Man<br />
competition in Hamilton.<br />
“As one of the only 10 Kiwis<br />
to qualify for the international<br />
competition, I’m proud to hold<br />
the runner-up title for New<br />
Zealand,” he said.<br />
Dixon-Searle’s academic<br />
journey has been equally<br />
impressive.<br />
“As well as being an athlete<br />
and a personal trainer at F45,<br />
I’m currently working towards<br />
my level 6 diploma in human<br />
performance at the New<br />
Zealand Institute of Sport.<br />
“I started at NZIS in 2020<br />
to get the support I needed to<br />
meet literacy and numeracy<br />
standards, and turn my love for<br />
sport into a career.<br />
“I’m grateful to NZIS for<br />
supporting my education<br />
journey and sponsoring me to<br />
compete internationally.<br />
“I want to continue to<br />
compete on the world stage to<br />
show other young weightlifters<br />
that they too can win a world<br />
title.”<br />
