    Report summary

    Alfie Tollett, aged seven, died after being trapped between a white VW van and his father’s Kia when a Jaguar I-Pace moved forward in a rugby club car park. The inquest concluded that the death was accidental and recorded blunt force traumatic chest injuries. A principal concern was that the vehicle had no intermediary step between selecting drive or reverse, which may have made it difficult to detect that the incorrect button had been pressed.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure of the reversing warning sound to be sufficiently audible inside the car

    Wider context from the report

    “(2) There were a number of errors that were made by the driver which caused or contributed to the death . These were • Wrongly placing the car in drive instead of reverse • Failing to look down at the camera and pressing the button to move forward by touch alone • Failing to realise that the reversing warning sound which was said to be very difficult to hear inside the car was not engaged • Driving forward and continuing to do so for 8-10 seconds after the accelerator was pressed • Failing to press the brake at any time . (3 ) However , these errors occurred as a result of there being no intermediary step within the Jaguar ipace being necessary to put the car into drive / reverse other than pressing a button . In the police officer’s opinion if there had also been a lever or something similar present in the vehicle that needed to be engaged before a button was pressed this may have alerted ████████ to the fact that he had pushed the incorrect button on the 3 button console . ”
