Cause of death
Traumatic head injury sustained in a motor vehicle incident (pedestrian)
AI-generated summary
A 64-year-old woman died from traumatic head injury sustained in a pedestrian motor vehicle incident. She stepped onto High Street from behind a light pole while attempting to cross, into the path of an oncoming vehicle. The driver's vision was obscured by the light pole and vehicle A-pillar, making collision unavoidable once the patient was already on the road. Autopsy revealed she had significant coronary artery disease and diffuse axonal injury, but the head injury alone was likely fatal. This was an unavoidable accident; clinical lessons relate to the medical management of severe traumatic brain injury and the palliative approach taken given poor neurological prognosis.
