Ulverstone man dies in crash at Wiltshire Save
Dec. 8, 2012, 9:31 a.m.
The scene of a fatal accident near Wiltshire.
A 62-YEAR-OLD Ulverstone man is dead after his motorcycle collided with a car on the Bass Highway at Wiltshire this morning.
In a statement released this afternoon Police said they believe a car being driven east by a 47-year-old Devonport man was overtaking a removalist truck when it collided with a scooter, travelling in the opposite direction, ridden by the Ulverstone man.
As a result of the collision the rider was thrown from the scooter and died at the scene before paramedics arrived.
The driver of the car was uninjured, but taken to the Smithton Hospital for observation.
The name of the Ulverstone man has not yet been released.
An inquest has been opened into the matter.
Police would like to speak with anyone who may have witnessed the crash or any of the vehicles involved to contact Burnie Police Station or the Police Assistance number on 131444.
SAD LOSS: John Westergreen and Bob Payton work on the extensions to the Central Coast Community Shed. Looking on is John’s father, Frank. Mr Payton was killed in a road accident on Saturday. Picture: Grant Wells.
ON SATURDAY, the Central Coast community lost a man who spent his whole life serving people.
Bob Payton was killed when the scooter he was riding and a car collided near Wiltshire in Circular Head.
He was five minutes from his Forest farm, where he spent most weekends while living at Ulverstone.
Mr Payton was a volunteer and committee member with both the Central Coast Community Shed and the Men’s Shed, which share the same building at the Ulverstone Showgrounds.
Outgoing Men’s Shed president Len Blair said members were shattered when the news of Mr Payton’s death filtered through.
“We’re all struggling here. Many of the members are very upset.
“Bob was a fantastic volunteer and spent countless hours at the shed and will be sadly missed,” Mr Blair said yesterday.
The Men’s Shed held a committee meeting about the shed’s future after Mr Payton’s death.
Members were full of praise for Mr Payton’s work and the time he gave to the project.
He was the second-in- charge of the recent building works at the shed, which saw it double its work space at the showgrounds.
“I guess in a way it was good Bob got to see the shed get to the lock-up stage. He spent so many hours down here to try and get it finished.
“He was the sort of man who would do anything to help out and that’s what his entire life was.
“Bob was a police officer in New South Wales for 20 odd years and has always been a big part of the community. There was nothing he would say no to, he was just full of energy.”
The Men’s Shed members were to have their Christmas party on Friday, but it’s likely Mr Payton’s funeral will be held the same day.
“We have postponed our Christmas party until a later date, which will now become a memorial for Bob.”
PAYTON –
Mass of Christian Burial for the late Mr Robert John (Bob) Payton will be celebrated at the Star of the Sea Catholic Church, Marshall St, Stanley at 10 a.m. on FRIDAY, December 14, 2012.
Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend.
A CORONER has found that a driver overtaking on the wrong side of the Bass Highway killed a scooter rider in a head-in collision.
Coroner Olivia McTaggart released her findings into the death of rider Robert John Payton, 62, on Monday.
Mr Payton died on December 8, 2012 on the Bass Highway, Wiltshire on the North-West Coast.
The retired policeman was riding a motor scooter and died instantly when Clinton Lee Chauvin, who was driving on the wrong side of the road, hit his vehicle head-on.
About 8am on the day, Chauvin, driving a Mitsubishi wagon, decided to overtake an old, slow-moving truck and crossed over onto the wrong side of the road to do so.
Coroner McTaggart said this overtaking manoeuvre at that point was unnecessary.
“A long straight section of road was ahead which would have, if clear, been significantly more suitable for an overtaking manoeuvre,” she said.
“Most unfortunately, Mr Chauvin did not see Mr Payton’s scooter until he was in his incorrect lane and did not have any ability to avoid the crash.
“A prudent driver intending to overtake would have paid closer attention to the presence of oncoming vehicles.
“Additionally, Mr Chauvin placed himself in a position too close to the truck to have a proper view and overtook it despite such impaired view.
“The evidence also indicates that Mr Chauvin, when he was travelling further back from the truck had the opportunity to see the scooter on the road ahead but did not do so.”
Ms McTaggart said Mr Payton’s riding was appropriate at all material times.
“I find that Mr Chauvin contributed to Mr Payton’s cause of death by entering the incorrect lane in which Mr Payton was travelling on his scooter at a time when he had no clear view ahead, and in circumstances of failing to keep a proper lookout for oncoming vehicles,” she said.
“The circumstances of Mr Payton’s death are a tragic reminder of the dangers of overtaking another vehicle by travelling in the oncoming lane.”
Chauvin was charged with having caused the death of another person by negligent driving and overtaking when unsafe to do so.
He pleaded guilty to these charges on September 16, 2013 in the Burnie Magistrates Court.
Magistrate Don Jones jailed Chauvin for three months, wholly suspended for two years, and disqualified him from driving for eight months.
A CRITICAL incident investigation is under way into the sudden death of decorated Albury police officer Glenn Stirton.
Sgt Stirton, a police officer for more than 30 years, died after an incident at the Albury police station on Thursday.
In August, Sgt Stirton received the highest honour for bravery that can be conferred by the NSW Police Commissioner for foiling what police suspect was destined to be a massacre.
Sgt Stirton is the husband of Albury local area commander ( Supt. ) Beth Stirton, who has gone on immediate leave.
Three ambulance crews rushed to the scene after an emergency call from the station.
Officers from the Deniliquin local area command will investigate the circumstances of Sgt Stirton’s death and prepare a report for the coroner.
Acting Southern Region commander Gary Worboys said the force extended its deepest sympathy and condolences to Sgt Stirton’s family “and the wider police family”.
“Welfare support and counselling has been offered to the officer’s family and colleagues. Police will continue to do their job in this difficult time,” acting Assistant Commissioner Worboys said.
Wagga Superintendent Dave Simmons has been brought in to assist the command.
From Monday, Detective Insp Brad Blanchard will act as Albury local area commander while Supt Stirton is on leave.
Sgt Stirton’s bravery was outlined when Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione presented the NSW Police Force Valour Award to him during a ceremony at the police force academy at Goulburn.
Sgt Stirton and a colleague had gone to get lunch at the Eastwood Shopping centre in Sydney’s north in 2008.
While on their way, they were asked to check on reports of a man acting suspiciously at the centre.
Sgt Stirton and his colleague followed the man out of the centre and asked him to stop. He ignored their directions, pulled a pistol from his waistband and fired at the officers, narrowly missing the pair, who returned fire.
The man, Christopher Benardos, turned the gun on himself, and later died in hospital without regaining consciousness.
“It was nice to be recognised, although it is under tragic circumstances,” Sgt Stirton said at the time of the award.
Sgt Stirton transferred to Albury six months ago to join his wife.
