Oliver Carr secures prevention of future deaths report at inquest

Oliver represented the Family at an inquest into the death of a 47-year-old pedal cyclist involved in a road traffic collision with a heavy goods vehicle at a roundabout. 

During the course of the inquest, concerns were raised in relation to road markings and signage at the roundabout. It was noted that more appropriate signage might in the future instruct cyclists of the availability of alternative routes of travel, away from the roundabout. 

Pursuant to the Coroners and Justice Act 2009, the Coroner made a Regulation 28 prevention of future deaths report relating to these concerns. The report has been published and sent to Hull City Council and National Highways.
