PILLION RIDER’S DEATH
CAUSED BY EXCESSIVE SPEED. Christchurch, Last Night. Coroner La wry, S.M., concluded to-day the inquest into the death of Magaret O’Connor at the Christchurch Hospital on April 20 from injuries sustained when a motorcycle driven by Trevor Wallis Moss, on which she was riding in a pillion position, crashed into a heap of earth on the road. The Coroner held that as the motor cycle was without a light and the night was dark the speed at which Moss drove was excessive. The obstruction, a drainage trench, was marked by four lamps but Moss having seen the warning lights failed to take proper care in approaching the obstruction.
