Coroner orders council to mend road defects after cyclist’s death Assistant coroner’s Prevention of Future Deaths report says Jennifer Dyer’s death following pothole crash “was avoidable” cycling
A coroner has ordered a council has been ordered to review its procedures for mending road defects after a cyclist was killed when she crashed after hitting a pothole.
He said that research into the defect had “evidenced a history of failed repairs since late 2019, with numerous concerns being raised about the continuing danger that it posed to road users, especially motorbikes and bicycles.” “That collision was solely and proximately caused by a defective pothole, 58mm deep, in the road surface of the B2188, Cherry, Gardens Hill, Groombridge. Her death was avoidable.”
A spokesperson for the county council said that the pothole was repaired on the same day as the crash that claimed Ms Dyer’s life, and that the council had revised its road safety inspection procedures to allow for “a more flexible approach to determining risk for all road users and defect response times.”
