IS CYCLISTS DEATH.
AFTER CLINGING TO LORRY. SWERVED TO WEONG SIDE. A verdict of accidental death from head injuries was , returned by the coroner, Mr. P. K. Hunt, S.M., yesterday at an inquest into the death of Bertie Brown, who died at the Auckland Hospital on May 4 from injuries received in a collision .at Williamson Avenue the previous evening. The evidence showed that the boy was on a bicycle and came into collision with another cyclist. He. had been holding on to the back of a motor lorry travelling up a hill just after dark, and someone called to him to let go. One witness said that the boy must have swerved too far on to the wrong side of the road, so that he was struck by a cycle coming the other way.
