THE INQUEST of a woman from the district who died in a car accident in South Africa will be held on Monday.

Karen Taylor, 62, of Ilkley, was involved in an accident as she drove from a game reserve to Cape Town, where she had been spending the New Year with her daughter, Rebecca, who works in Africa.

Mrs Taylor was known to many residents of Ilkley, and was a member of a number of local groups. She was for some years the treasurer of Ilkley Candlelighters, and had lived in the town for 38 years.

The inquest is due to be held at Bradford Coroners Court.
