ABSTRACT
Samson is a diabetic. He is required to take insulin regularly to control his condition. On one occasion, he took insulin as prescribed but, not having eaten, he became semiconscious whilst driving his car. He lost control of the car and it collided with Jeanette, a pedestrian. Jeanette was taken to hospital suffering from multiple fractures. Two weeks later, whilst still in hospital, Jeanette contracted a serious infection which proved fatal.
