MOTORING FATALITY.
THEORY AS TO THE CAUSE
Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, June 29
Nothing to shed light on the cause of the car going over the bank at Kelburn and causing the death of Mr T. C. Macintyre was elicited at the inquest, which opened to-day. It was stated that deceased who was at the wheel was not a licensed driver. One theory, which is supported by a photograph of the road showing wheelmarks, is that the wheels of the car were jambed in a water-table on the hill (the safe) side of the road and that Macintyre, in endeavouring to extricate the car pulled too much to the right so that the car, when clear of the rut, shot across the road and skidded to the bank before it could he righted. Macintyre must have been killed instantaneously. The others are progressing favour ablv.
