AI-generated summary
A 19-year-old woman died from multiple injuries sustained in a motor vehicle collision on Black Mountain Drive, Canberra on 4 June 2022. She was driving a 1986 Toyota sedan at approximately 80 km/h when she lost control on a wet, winding road during cold, windy weather with poor visibility. The vehicle struck a tree, with the impact crushing the driver's side. She was extricated quickly and transported to hospital but could not be saved. The vehicle was mechanically sound, and no alcohol or drugs were detected. The coroner found the death resulted from reckless, high-speed driving on challenging terrain in adverse conditions, exceeding both posted speed limits and the driver's capabilities. No clinical management issues were identified in the hospital care provided.
