An Adelaide man suffering a psychotic episode was recorded driving at 187km/h by a fixed speed camera an hour before he crashed into two other cars at high speed, killing two people including a senior police officer, an inquest has been told. 

But the camera was not equipped to relay that information to police in real time, and they were unaware of it when they were advised of subsequent dangerous driving by 21-year-old law student Harrison Kitt, counsel assisting the coroner Martin Kirby told the Adelaide Coroner's Court on Tuesday.
