Hello. Could anyone let me know if there was any newspaper coverage of a motorcycle accident which resulted in the the death of EDWARD CHARLES HOOPER, aged 19. He was the pillion passenger and was struck by a van driven by WILLIAM PHILIP STRIPE. The bike was being ridden by ALFRED ARCHIBALD BIRCH. The accident happened on, or around, 23rd September, 1925.
Edward died in Purley and District War Memorial Hospital, Croydon.
An inquest was heard on 30th November, 1925, in Croydon.
I have had a look around myself online, but as of yet had no luck.

Local [Croydon] newspapers may help. I had a similar situation that occurred in Cornwall - found 2 papers that carried details and was able to purchase copies of same.
