AI-generated summary
Oscar McIntyre, 17 years old, died from injuries sustained when he left the track during a motorcycle race at Phillip Island, rode across the infield at full speed without braking, and was struck by another rider. He had a history of mental health issues treated with antidepressants and anxiety medication. Post-mortem toxicology detected amphetamines and metabolites at low levels. While the exact cause of his decision to leave the track is unknown, the coroner noted amphetamines can impair riding ability and decision-making even at low levels, though a definitive causal link could not be established. The motorcycle was mechanically sound. The coroner found the death accidental and recommended installation of visual barriers to prevent similar incidents.
