“DRIVEN AT UNSAFE SPEED”
FATAL CHRISTCHURCH ACCIDENT. CORONER RETURNS OPEN VERDICT By Telograph.—Preas Aieoeiation. Christchurch, Sept. 27. “After listening to the evidence I have come to the conclusion (and think no unbiased person could come to any other) that the ear in which Reynolds was riding, and which was driven by Vernor Clemens, was travelling at an unsafe speed, having regard for all the circumstances, also that the motor lorry, driven by Ernest Laurie Page, although carefully driven, was too close to tnfe eastern wall.” This rider was added to the open verdict returned by the coroner, Mr. E. D. Mosley, at the inquest concerning the death of Edward Reynolds, a Wellington business man, who died ! on September 12, months after he had been injured in a collision outside the gates of Paparua prison.
