The following report appeared in The Manchester Evening News, Friday, February 21, 1913, page five:
An inquest was held at Salford this afternoon on the body of Tom Creacall (49), of Armitage Street, Cheetham. On Sunday last, when crossing Bury New Road at the junction with Great Cheetham Street West, he was knocked down by a motor-car. He was badly injured and death took place at Salford Royal Hospital on Wednesday last.
A witness stated that the car was on the right side of the road and the vehicle was travelling at a speed of between eight and nine miles an hour. The man stepped into the roadway and then hesitated. The driver of the car sounded the horn and then slowed down, but the car skidded on the wet tramway rails. Mr S. W. Roe-Rycroft represented the driver of the car and Mr Noel Rycroft the relatives of the deceased.
The jury returned a virdict of accidental death.
A much fuller account of the inquest appears in the Salford Reporter, Saturday, March 1st, 1913, Items of interest are as follows:
"She (wife,Emily) saw him (Tom) on Monday at the hospital and he could not tell her how the accident had occured. The deceased was slightly deaf, but in the witness's (Emily) opinion he could have heard the sound of a motor horn at twenty yards".
"He seemed to get bewildered and stepped backward in front of the motor car. The left side of the car struck the deceased and knocked him down. The car skidded and carried the deceased about ten or twelve yards and then stopped with the deceased under it" (Percy Labron, witness).
"He was no judge of speed and could not say how fast the car was travelling" (Paul Hoffman, licencee of the Mitre Hotel, Cathedral Gates, Manchester, passenger in the car with his wife and niece).
"The speed of the car was about six or seven miles an hour" (James Sutton , driver, employee of Mr Fred Brook, Prestwich).
"Inspector Morgan, who is in charge of the Manchester Hackney Carriage Department, said he was walking along ..... and saw a crowd of people ... (he) took the deceased in the motor car to the hospital. ....he had known this particular driver (Sutton) for 15 months, and in his opinion, he was a very careful and compitent driver ..... I saw him (Sutton) passing nearly ever day".
A coroner's inquest was held regarding Tom's death in Pendleton Town Hall, Salford, Lancashire, Friday 21st February 1913. "The Coroner said the question the Jury had to consider was whether or not the deceased met his death owing to culpable negligence on the part of the driver. The driver had given a very clear account of what had taken place, and had stated that he was goimg at a reasonable speed and that he had a clear road in front of him. There were four sets of rails at this crossing into which water was run to assist traction, into this overflowing onto the sets no doubt had caused the road to become wet at this point. The driver, according to his evidence, swerved to avoid the deceased, but there was a tramcar approaching from the opposite direction, and apparently he could not turn far enough round without the risk of running into the tram car".
