The driver, Conor Feeney, reported he was unable to avoid her as she crossed the road at dusk. Eyewitnesses described the incident, and the inquest concluded with a verdict of accidental death, acknowledging factors such as poor visibility and Casserly’s hurried crossing. The driver was found not to be at fault, and no prosecution was pursued by authorities.
