INQUEST INTO DEATH OF CYCLIST
(United Press Association)
NELSON, May 16.
The Coroner’s verdict at the inquest into the death of Hilda Irene Webby, a cyclist, who was killed at Hope by an overtaking motor-car was that she died from a fracture of the skull and laceration of the brain, such injuries being caused by being run down, while riding a bicycle, by a car driven by John Leonard Hall. The Coroner (Mr T. E. Maunseil) added that he was not going to say that there was no evidence of negligence or any evidence of negligence, but if there was no negligence it was a disquieting state of affairs if a cyclist, complying with the regulations and having a red reflector and painted mudguard, should be killed in this manner.
