AI-generated summary
Corey Benjamin Maverick Blazely, a 25-year-old male, died from blunt head trauma after being struck by a motor vehicle while walking on the Southern Outlet road in Hobart on 13 November 2016. He had consumed significant alcohol (blood alcohol level 0.23 g/100mL) during an evening of socialising and was walking on the road surface in dark conditions with no street lighting. The driver did not see him until collision was unavoidable and took no evasive action. This was a traffic fatality rather than a medical case; no clinical or medical preventability factors were identified. The death occurred at an unlit road location where a pedestrian under the influence was not readily visible to drivers.
