Injuries sustained in motor vehicle collision (passenger)
AI-generated summary
An 18-year-old female died from injuries sustained as a passenger in a motor vehicle collision on a poorly maintained road. The vehicle struck a pothole in a wet road surface, causing loss of control and collision with oncoming traffic. Despite extensive resuscitation efforts including emergency surgery, she could not be saved due to severe multi-system trauma including retroperitoneal bleeding and devastating brain injury. The coroner found no fault with hospital care but identified that road maintenance standards (pothole intervention level of 100mm) contributed to the accident. Drainage issues on the road were subsequently remedied.
