Cause of death
Head injury in motor vehicle incident
AI-generated summary
A 74-year-old man using a motorised mobility scooter was struck by a motor vehicle at a T-intersection in Rye, Victoria. He sustained a severe head injury with right subdural haemorrhage and bilateral subarachnoid haemorrhage. Despite emergency decompressive craniotomy and evacuation of subdural haematoma, repeat imaging showed extensive brain injury deemed non-survivable. He died after comfort care was provided. The coroner found the driver had severely limited vision to the left due to the stop line location, road curvature, embankment and foliage, compounded by vehicle design. The coroner did not make findings regarding driver culpability but recommended moving the stop line forward 1.5-2 metres to improve visibility for drivers turning left.
