Missionary dies of his injuries

A Mormon missionary died within six hours of being rushed to hospital with serious head injuries after a vehicle struck him while he was biking near Masterton on Friday.
Mr Carnovale, 24, was one of two missionaries cycling back to the town along Norfolk Road about 2pm on Friday when a utility vehicle struck him from behind.
Mr Carnovale was serving in South Wairarapa and had arrived in the country about a year ago for the two-year term of his mission.
A Wairarapa Hospital spokeswoman said Mr Carnovale died from injuries he received in the incident, which included serious head wounds, at about 8pm on Friday.
