The case for the police was conducted by Senior-Sergeant Cummings, and 'Mr Dacre appeared for the driver of the car, Alfred Victor Smith. The two sisters of the deceased gave evidence. The three had just passed from behind a car town-bound, when a motor car coming in the opposite direction at a fast pace on its right side knocked the deceased down. The driver, Smith, gave evidence that he saw deceased and her two sisters making across the road.
