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."
