AI-generated summary
Craig Anthony Twining, aged 61, died from multiple injuries sustained in a two-vehicle head-on collision on the Bass Highway, Tasmania on 1 April 2024. His white Toyota Hilux crossed the centre line into the path of an oncoming truck. The most likely cause was a medical event (he was found to be obese with an enlarged heart at autopsy) or that he fell asleep. Road and vehicle conditions were appropriate, neither driver was speeding or using mobile phones, and the other driver was not at fault. The coroner recommends genetic screening for first-degree relatives given the autopsy findings of an enlarged heart, as cardiomyopathy cannot be excluded.
