    The Coroner has found the crash which killed an elderly couple in Canterbury, was caused by a medical event

    The Coroner has found the crash which killed an elderly couple in Canterbury, was caused by a medical event


    Norman and Gloria Hawkins - who were married for more than 60 years - died after their car crossed the centre line and collided with two other vehicles along State Highway 1 in Chertsey in June 2020.

    Two other people were injured.

    Coroner Dustin Luo says the airbag control module showed the Hawkins' vehicle braked just zero-point-one seconds before impact.

    He says investigations found Norman, who was at the wheel, suffered a medical event which rendered him incapable of controlling the vehicle.
