Child killed on Visit – Fatal Road Accident while at Play
A verdict of accidental death was returned at an inquest at Paulton on March 4 on 3½ years old Montague Alan Boulton, of 15, Maynard Terrace. Clutton, who was knocked down and fatally injured at High Littleton on March 2.The jury attached no blame to the driver or the vehicle.
Mr. Stanley John Edgar Nash, of Church Hill, High Littleton. told the coroner (Mr. H. A. Horner) that the boy was on a visit with his mother. and went out into the garden to play with his sister and neighbour’s children.
The garden gate led on to a narrow pathway, which opened on to the main road through a gate. The children went across this pathway to another garden to play and he knew nothing until one of the little girls came in and said. " Monty Boulton has been run over."
He immediately went out, and found the driver of the lorry holding the child in the main Bath Hallatrow road. close to the gateway. A car was stopped, and the child taken to Paulton Memorial Hospital.
Questioned by Insp. R. E. Crocker, he said that the boy, when in between the pillars of the gateway, would not have been seen by passing traffic, and that the gate was normally shut.
A witness of the accident was Mr. Albert James Langley, of Barrow Vale Farm, Farmborough. He was driving his own lorry behind the vehicle concerned. He said he had been following this vehicle, a heavy lorry, for about half a mile from Hallatrow in the direction of High Littleton. It was being driven carefully and at not more than 10 m.p.h. it was a heavy lorry, and they were travelling up the steep hill.
As the lorry passed the brow of the hill he was about ten yards behind when he saw the child run out of the pathway. The lorry swerved right across the road and stopped with all but nine inches of its width over the white line. He did not actually see the child hit. but saw him lying in the road.
The lorry, he said stop dead almost as soon as he saw the child, and he did not think the driver could have avoided the accident. The child was running at a very fast speed.
In reply to Insp. Crocker, he said that the lorry was travelling about five feet from the wall, and that he did not see the child until he was actually in the roadway.
Mr. Benjamin Charles Avery, of High Street, High Littleton, also saw the lorry coming along the road and estimated its speed about 10 m.p.h. He saw it swerve, and said it pulled up very quickly. As a motorist he also did not think the accident could have been avoided by the driver.
The driver. Mr. Lionel George Gardiner (26), of 651, Portway, Avonmouth, was represented by Mr. E. S. Monckton (Titley, Long and Co.). He had been driving for nine years. and for the last five on heavy lorries. His vehicle weighed five tons five cwt.
"On breasting the top of the hill." he said, and travelling at about 10 m.p.h., I was almost abreast the pathway when I suddenly saw a small child dash into the roadway. I did the only thing possible; I swerved and braked at the same time."
Although he had inspected the vehicle with the police there was nothing to show where the child struck the vehicle. He believed it was behind the front wheel. He was driving about two to three feet from the wall as the road was narrow, and there was no footpath.
Dr. B. Crook said that when he got to the hospital the child was already dead, and death was due to multiple injuries to the pelvic region.
The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical evidence, and found that the injuries were accidentally sustained when in collision with a lorry.
The foreman, Mr. E. E. Veater, added that the jury entirely exonerated the driver of the lorry.
The jury expressed their sympathy with the parents of the child, as did the coroner and Mr. Monckton.
The funeral took place at Clutton on Saturday. The coffin was conveyed direct from Paulton Memorial Hospital, and was met by the mourners at the Cemetery headed by the Congregational pastor Mr. Lionel Herbert.
