WOMAN'S DEATH
MORE ENQUIDIES SUGGESTED
AUCKLAND, Monday.
“On the evidence before me I cannot exonerate the driver from blame,” said Mr F. K. Hunt, S.M., Cormier, at the inquest into the death of Mrs Alice Brierly, aged 62, who was struck by a car driven by R. E. Hinde, and who died in the Auckland Hospital as a result of severe head injuries received in the accident.
In returning a verdict that Mrs Brierly’s death occurred as the result of head injuries received through being struck by a car driven by Hinde on 10tli Deco über, the Coroner said: “Here is a ca >e of a woman crossing the road when the visibility was stated by the driver himself to be good. She was seen when the car was 40 feet away, yet she was struck by the car. I am not able to exonerate the driver from blame on the evidence before me, and I think further enquiries should be made.”
