The mother of a schoolgirl killed in a freak accident after being struck by a car wheel says she is disappointed no one has been prosecuted as a coroner today described her death as tragic, needless and entirely preventable .
Amelia Wood, 11, was walking to catch a school bus in Manby, Lincolnshire, when the front wheel of the passing 4x4 broke off and hit her.
The former Cleethorpes schoolgirl was airlifted to Queen s Medical Centre in Nottingham, where she sadly died.
A two-day inquest into her tragic death in March 2018 heard that the vehicle, which was being driven by then 22-year-old Cameron Perkins, from Covenham St Bartholemew, was unroadworthy due to a catalogue of faults.
Amelia Wood inquest - coroner rules schoolgirl s tragic death an accident
The two-day inquest has come to an end
A coroner has concluded that the tragic death of schoolgirl Amelia Wood was an accident.
At the end of a two-day hearing, Paul Smith said: Amelia’s death was a tragic, needless and entirely preventable death.
“She died as a result of an accident. “
Yesterday, proceedings were brought to a halt by the barrister acting for driver Cameron Perkins when allegations were made that he had carried out work on the highly-modified Land Rover involved in the fatal incident to night before.
