AI-generated summary
This complex coronial finding examined six deaths arising from police pursuits in Western Australia between 2012-2014. The deceased included taxi driver Kuldeep Singh and passenger Dr D. (killed in a collision with a stolen vehicle being pursued); mechanic Gavin Wayne Fryer (killed when the pursued vehicle collided with his car); motorcycle rider Jordan Damon Rundell (killed during pursuit of his motorcycle); passenger Kyra Marjorie Narrier (killed in head-on collision when pursued vehicle crossed to wrong side of road); and driver Hassan El Bakdadi (killed when his vehicle crashed during pursuit). The coroner found that in all cases, the deaths were caused primarily by the dangerous driving of those evading police, most of whom were significantly intoxicated with methylamphetamine. While some police breaches of Emergency Driving Policy were identified, the coroner found that police did not cause or contribute to any of the deaths. The finding emphasizes the serious risks posed by methylamphetamine-intoxicated drivers and recommends greater use of Police Airwing resources and alternative resolution strategies to reduce dangerous high-speed pursuits.
