FATAL CRASH

Sorell Causeway Collision

Injured in a collision on the Sorell Causeway on Saturday, Vernon Victor Hoffman (31), unmarried, of Penna, died soon after admission to hospital at Sorell.

When Hoffman was riding a motorcycle towards Sorell, the machine collided head-on with a motor-lorry driven by Ernest Ray Worbey, 54 Warwick St., Hobart. Both vehicles were considerably damaged by the impact, but Worbey was able to drive the lorry to Sorell, conveying in it Hoffman, who was suffering from head and other injuries.

The death was reported to the Coroner (Col. A. C. Blacklow M.L.C.) who opened an inquest at Sorell yesterday. The inquest was adjourned until tomorrow.
