AI-generated summary
An 89-year-old woman died from multiple injuries sustained when struck by a motor vehicle while crossing Beach Road as a pedestrian. She was exiting a car park to access a nearby community centre when struck by a Toyota Camry travelling at approximately 10 km/h in wet weather conditions. The coroner found no suspicious circumstances and no medical factors contributing to the collision. The death was deemed a result of the traumatic injuries (pelvic fractures, rib fractures, and limb fractures) causing hypovolaemic shock. The coroner's only recommendation related to road safety infrastructure, recommending installation of a designated pedestrian crossing at this heavily-used location near the community facility.
