MOTOR TRAFFIC DANGERS
COMMENT BY CORONER ADVICE TO PEDESTRIANS [BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION] PALMERSTON NORTH, Friday The necessity for pedestrians observing extreme care in crossing streets was emphasised by Mr. A. J. Graham, coroner, at an inquest on William Edward Turner, aged 67, who died as the result of injuries received in a collision with a motor truck driven by Claude Dustin, of Waitotara, on July 6. In returning a verdict of accidental death the coroner said no blame was attachable to the driver. " This emphasises the need for pedestrians to exercise extreme precautions. All accidents are not the fault of the car drivers. In this case deceased apparently failed to look both ways before crossing the road." The evidence showed that deceased suddenly emerged from behind another vehicle on to the track of the oncoming truck.
