EXCESSIVE SPEEDING
LEADS TO ACCIDENT. CORONER’S COMMENT. Christchurch, July 2.. “This is another case—they are all too frequent—of excessive speed leading to an accident. This young man’s death was entirely due to speed an which he was travelling and to his vision being affected by the sun.” The foregoing comment was made by the coroner at the conclusion of an inquest into the death of George Jonathan Pine, a young motor cyclist, who died after he had collided with a motor lorry, on the Riccarton road on June 24. After the collision the motor cycle petrol tank fired, and Pine suffered terrible injuries’ from burns, also a fracture of the skull and other severe hurts. Mr. Mosley added that Pine must have been travelling at 40 miles an hour at least.
