The court heard that Forrester collided with Bruce, who was crossing the road. They both fell to the ground in an unconscious state.
Both persons were picked up and rushed to the Diamond Diagnostic Centre, where Bruce was pronounced dead on arrival, and Forester was admitted a patient. The matter was then reported, an investigation was carried out, and Forrester was charged for the offence.
Magistrate McLennan suspended Forrester’s licence until the completion and determination of the trial. He was also instructed to report to the Providence Police Station – to the officer in charge – every Friday.
The matter was adjourned until November 1 for commencement of the trial.
