§ Mr. W. Robinsonasked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been called to a fatal accident on the East Lancashire road at Carr Mill, near St. Helens, on Sunday last, when a lady named Miss Jessie Cropper was fatally injured; and will he make inquiries, with a view to making more safe this road junction which is locally known as a danger spot?
§ Captain WallaceI understand that Miss Cropper was cycling along the East Lancashire road when, without making any sign, she turned to the right into Green Leach lane and was struck by a following car. The jury's verdict at the inquest on the 18th July was "Death by Misadventure." The county borough of St. Helens are the highway authority for the road and I will bring the matter to their notice; but it would appear that this regrettable accident cannot be attributed to road conditions.
