AI-generated summary
Paula Elizabeth Nicolle, aged 56, died from multiple blunt traumatic injuries sustained in a motor vehicle crash on 27 July 2019 near Railton, Tasmania. While driving her Suzuki hatchback, she failed to steer out of a right-hand curve and crossed into the opposing lane, colliding head-on with a Subaru. The autopsy revealed injuries including complete separation of the skull base from the vertebral column, causing near-instantaneous death. Investigation excluded alcohol, drugs, fatigue, mechanical defects, road conditions, and speed as contributing factors. The coroner concluded the crash resulted from inattention on Mrs Nicolle's part, though the specific cause of her inattention could not be determined. No preventable factors were identified that would have changed the outcome.
