Investigation and inquest
On 11 November 2013 I commenced an investigation into the death of Saleh Ali Dalie. The investigation concluded at the end of the inquest on 4th March 2014. The conclusion of the inquest was road traffic collision.
Circumstances of the death
The deceased came out of his house on Kyotts Lake Road and went to cross the road to attend his local mosque. He entered the road between parked cars and was he was hit by a van. He was taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital where he later died from his injuries.
Coroner’s concerns
(1) There have been several incidents and 2 fatalities on this road. Residents have campaigned for road calming measures and parking restrictions and appropriate crossing measures which have not been introduced. I am concerned about the safety of this road given it is a residential area.
