Investigation and inquest
On 1.11.17, I commenced an investigation into the death of Mark Anthony Nicols. The investigation concluded at the end of the inquest on 14.9.18. The conclusion of the inquest was a narrative conclusion, copy attached.
Circumstances of the death
On 28.10.2017, Mr Nicols was struck by two cars on Ringinglow Road, Sheffield.
Coroner’s concerns
During the inquest, evidence showed:-
You had a site cabin near the accident scene. The path was still open. However, it was likely to be unsafe to pedestrians as to whether the path could still be used. No signage or lighting had been installed to help pedestrians and I understand from evidence that if similar circumstance occurred again, you were unlikely to do anything differently.
