WEEDONS CROSSING SMASH
CORONER SUGGESTS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, January 14, At the inquest into the death of Phyllis Irene Benson, victim of the Weedons Crossing smash on December 31, a verdict of death from laceration of the brain due to a fractured skull was returned, no blame being attachable to anybody. The coroner suggested that the Railway Department might instruct drivers to sound a second blast of the whistle before arriving at the crossing, and cut back the trees to provide a better view. The evidence of the driver of the car showed that he did not see or hear the train.
