MOTOR-CYCLIST KILLED
POSSIBLE SEIZING OF PISTON. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Aug. 26. , A warning that motor-cyclists should, when travelling at high speeds, take into account the possibility of the pistons seizing, was given by Mr. McNeill, S.M., at an inquest concerning the death of Terence Sefton Falloon, who fell off a motor-cycle on August 19 and died in the Wellington hospital.
The coroner said that the eviden e showed that at the time of the accident Falloon had attained a fairly high speed. Ho was satisfied that Falloon was not struck by any motor vehicle and that there was no obstruction on the road. Something had happened to the motorcycle, probably the seizing of piston, a happening which motor cyclists travelling at high speed should take into account. The cycle had wobbled, skidded and Falloon had been thrown to the ground, receiving injuries from which he died.
