A continued inquest into the death of a Southcrest woman who died after being discharged from hospital following a car crash, was adjourned amid confusion over when her fatal injury happened, writes Ben Lammas.

Edna Lammas, 77, of Greenfields, died on Monday, October 30 last year from bronchial pneumonia which developed after she dislocated a vertebra in her neck.

At the continued inquest on Monday, Worcestershire coroner Victor Round attempted to discover whether the dislocation happened in the car crash or at some other point.

In the opening of the inquest in September, pathologist Dr Louise Brown said the dislocation had happened after the crash in Tunnel Drive.

But orthopaedic surgeon at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, Alan Price, said he was unable to say when the dislocation occurred.

The case was adjourned to a date to be fixed so the representative of the Lammas family could listen to taped evidence from the opening.
