A coroner finds police could not have prevented a fatal crash that killed two women. The finding follows evidence that a speed camera recorded one vehicle travelling at almost 190 km/h about an hour earlier. Despite that earlier reading, the coroner concludes the crash could not be reliably predicted or prevented, meaning police actions based on the available information would not have changed the outcome. The reports state the coroner’s determination is based on the circumstances surrounding the incident and the limitations of what could be known in advance from the speed camera data. While the camera recorded very high speed, the coroner’s conclusion is that this alone was not enough to foresee when and where the crash would occur or to allow an intervention that would have stopped it. The coroner’s findings therefore address not only the speed recorded, but also the timing and predictability of the events leading to the collision.
