Speeding car rider blamed in coroner inquest

Coroner Lt. Col. J. T. H. Goorwin added a rider to the inquest verdicts, finding excessive speed by Whatty's car caused or contributed to the January 31 crash on the Federal Highway near Ginns Creek. Witnesses, including W. H. B. Dickson and Richard Baunders, described a second car traveling faster, with one driver injured and two others dead from skull fracture and cerebral injuries. Autopsy notes indicate Whatty died from head injuries, while Doris Guest remained unconscious until January 14. The coroner concluded no blame attached to the other driver, and speed and loss of control on the bend were key factors.
