MOTOR-CYCLIST’S DEATH.
EXCESSIVE SPEED. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, Monday. “This is another case —'they are all too frequent —of excessive speed leading to an accident. This young man’s death was entirely due to the speed at which ho was travelling and to his vision being affected bv the sun.’’ The foregoing comment was made by the Coroner at the conclusion of an inquest into the death of George Jonathan Pine, a young motor cyclist, who died after he had collided with a motor lorry on Riccarton Road on June 25. After the collision the motor cycle’s petrol tank became ignited and Pine suffered terrible injuries from burns, also a fractured skull and other hurts. Mr Mosley added that Pine must have been travelling at forty miles an hour at least.
