ELDERLY
CYCLIST'S DEATH - CORONER'S FINDING AT INQUEST
Injuries
received when he was run into and knocked over by a motor car in
Norman's road were found to have contributed to the death of Thomas
Leslie Flaus, aged 75, at the inquest into his death before the
Coroner,Mr E. C. Levvey, yesterday. Mr F. W. Johnston appeared for
William Thomas Murray, driver of the car involved in the accident;
and Mr G. T. Weston for the relatives of Flaus.
The verdict
was that Flaus died in Christchurch on July 21, 1938, and that the
cause of death was toxaemia from septic inflammation of the arm
following abrasions of the skin; the injuries being received on June
20 when Flaus was riding his bicycle along Norman's road and was run
into and knocked over by a motor car owned and driven by William
Thomas Murray.
Murray said in evidence that he was driving
into the city at 7.40 a.m. on the morning of the accident, and that
the sun was in his eyes. He was surprised when the car struck the
cyclist, as he had previously observed the cyclist to be well to the
left side of the road. The accident had taken place some distance
from the curb. He believed that the cyclist had borne over to the
right."
