DRIVING RECKLESSLY.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
W AIM ATE, Wednesday.
An inquest was held to-day concerning the death of Richard Louis Leighton Rodgers, who was fatally injured in a motor car accident last evening. The coroner, Mr. George Dash, returned a verdict "that deceased was accidentally killed near a sharp but visible corner of the main highway, north of Waimate, at about 5 p.m., through the violent overturning of a motor car, driven by himself at a reckless speed, within half an hour of having three drinks of whisky." The coroner added a rider commending passing motorists and Sister Genge, of the Waimate Hospital, who did what was possible for the dying man.
