'Erratic driving' before two died
A WITNESS in the Coroner's Court yesterday alleged that a truck was being driven erratically before a smash in which two elderly women were fatally hurt in Normanby rd., South Melbourne, on April 15.
George Edward Mair, fumigator, of Brougham Ave., Kew, driver of the utility truck, has been charged with manslaughter.
The witness, John Fortune Conrick, fitter and turner, of Acland st.. St. Kilda, was giving evidence at the inquest into the deaths of Mrs. Minnie Veronica Young, 68, of Williamstown rd., Port Melbourne, and Miss Brigid Agnes Frawley, 61, of Raglan st.. Port Melbourne.
John Robert Pettiona, 21, taxi driver, said the two women were passengers in his taxi.
"Take it easy"
They told him to "take it easy" and he was travelling at 25 m.p.h. along Normanby rd., when an approaching truck went on to its wrong side.
He added: "I swung on to my wrong side, or we would have 'copped the lot.' "
Pettiona said he had been driving only two weeks before the accident.
Under cross-examination he said later that he had since been in a triple car accident involving Sir Dallas Brooks, Governor, on Beach rd., Brighton.
Mrs. Margaret Ellen Frawley, barmaid, of Blyth st., East Brunswick, who was also in the taxi, and was seriously hurt, gave evidence from a stretcher.
Detective John Duncan McKenzie, read a signed statement alleged to have been made by Mair.
Mair's alleged statement said that he swung the truck to the left to avoid an oncoming car, but did not remember anything further until he heard women screaming.
Mr. Burke, S.M., coroner, found that Mrs. Young and Miss Frawley died from injuries received when the truck by misadventure collided with a taxi.
Mr. Burke said he was not prepared to say on the evidence that a prima facie case, of manslaughter had been made out. ³⁵⁰
