    Paul Michael BRIGGS · Prevention of Future Deaths report

    This summary was generated using AI from the published report. Please read the original report for the complete account.

    Report summary

    On 3 July 2015, Paul Michael Briggs was riding his motorcycle to work when an oncoming Nissan Micra crossed onto his side of the road and collided with him. He suffered multiple fractures and a traumatic brain injury, remained in a minimally conscious state, and died on 21 January 2017 after artificial nutrition and hydration was withdrawn. The report raised concern that adding rumble strips to the double white lines might reduce the risk of vehicles straying into the oncoming lane, and noted that risk assessments and remedial action were still outstanding some 20 months after the incident.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Lack of rumble strips alongside double white lines separating opposing traffic in the tunnel approach

    Wider context from the report

    “Though there is appropriate signage, a two way sign as the carriageways merge and though there are double white lines dividing the tunnel bound carriageway from the Liverpool bound carriageway; this incident occurred resulting in a tragic death. It is unclear as to why the Nissan Micra strayed onto the wrong side of the road but had the double white lines also included rumble strips – (as in the tunnel itself and similar to the lines next to motorway hard shoulders)- this would minimise the risk of inadvertently straying into the oncoming lane especially at quiet times when the side barriers and the bend inhibit visibility of oncoming traffic. It is now some 20 months after this tragic incident which proved fatal and risk assessments as to the risk of this eventuality, with appropriate remedial action should be nearing completion. ”

    Delays in completing risk assessments and appropriate remedial action for wrong-side-road risks
