Much-loved husband and dad died in A15 tragedy after returning to broken-down car

A much-loved North Ferriby husband and father was tragically hit by a lorry on the A15 when he returned to the broken-down car he had been travelling in with his wife and daughter. Flooring businessman, Trevor Ward, 74, died in the collision near Barton on September 11 last year, an inquest heard. The broken down Suzuki Swift emitted a massive wall of smoke which hindered the Mercedes lorry driver’s visibility as it collided with Mr Ward and the rear of the car. He and his wife and daughter Megan had got out of the car due to the fumes from the faulty fuel pump to the engine and took shelter on a nearby verge in the darkness of the night. The family car was half off and half on the inside lane of the dual carriageway a short distance from the Barton Interchange. But Mr Ward went back to the car for an unknown reason. Daughter Megan walked back down the verge of the northbound carriageway shining the torch on her mobile phone to warn any on-coming motorists. But moments later her father was struck by the lorry and died at the scene. At Grimsby Town Hall, assistant coroner for Greater Lincolnshire, Marianne Johnson said he died as a result of a road traffic collision. Police forensic collision investigator, PC Bhupinder Sood said: “Due to the reduced visibility, it is, in my opinion, unlikely the smoke would have been immediately obvious to the driver of the Mercedes lorry as he approached. It would have led to him having insufficient time and distance to avoid the collision with the deceased and the Suzuki. The primary causation must rest with the actions of Mr Ward, who for unknown reasons, entered the carriageway from the relative safety of the grass verge.” A forensic examination of the Suzuki showed it had three loose bolts which caused a fault in the high pressure fuel system. Mrs Johnson said she could not say why Mr Ward was where he was at the time. Addressing the family, she said: “You may have to accept that there are questions to which there will never be answers.” Diane Fawcett-Ward had taken her husband of 30 years and their daughter Megan to Scawby, near Brigg to visit her parents. They made the journey to North Ferriby around 7.30pm. She said Trevor was “the best husband and father you could wish for.” In tribute, Mrs Fawcett-Ward said: “He was the life and soul of the party. You heard him before you saw him. He was often whistling and he was popular at work.” She added her loss was “absolutely devastating” and the family are still in shock. “He was so proud of his girls,” she said. Mrs Fawcett-Ward said the family car had over 100,000 miles on the clock and had taken them for a family holiday to Cornwall in July that year and had been regularly maintained and checked. She said there had been a smell of diesel as they left her parents’ home and she drove steadily back to North Ferriby, without any faults indicated on the car. Without warning the car stopped, though the engine was still revving. Even when she turned it off, it continued revving and filled the carriageway with smoke. The three got out and stood on the verge. In her statement read at the inquest, daughter Megan said she walked a short distance back down the A15, as she could not see her mother or father and used the feel of the car to work out where she was. The smoke was so dense she could not see. She shone the torch on her phone and saw a lorry heading towards the car. She said she saw her dad at the rear of the car. “I did not know why he was there,” she said. The lorry did not alter its path and there was no braking and she heard a loud bang. The lorry driver, George Agar, stopped the lorry in a layby a short distance from the collision. He walked back to the scene and then walked away feeling unwell. Keep up to date with all the latest breaking news and top stories from Grimsby with our free newsletter Another motorist, Michael Walker, said he was returning from Grimsby to the North Bank when he encountered the “wall of grey” smoke and moved to the outside lane. He said he had not seen the car either. He said he had never, in many years of driving, seen “such an instantaneous loss of vision” due to the smoke. Mr Agar, 63, said in a statement read at the inquest that he had delivered a lorry load of potatoes to a Scunthorpe factory and was heading back to the North Bank. He said he was travelling at 53 to 54mph when he saw what he thought was fog. “It totally engulfed my vehicle. As soon as I saw this I started to brake and was still braking. I was shocked when I saw the car,” he said. The lorry driver said his vehicle, with 35ft-trailer, scraped the broken down car. Crash investigator PC Sood said the force of the impact with the lorry on the car had forced the rear wheel to be pushed into the body of the car. He said the Highway Code recommends anyone from a broken down car should illuminate hazard lights and take safety on the verge of a road, which is what the family did. He said: “But that would not have made any difference because the smoke was that thick.” He added there was insufficient time for the lorry driver to see Mr Ward on the road, due to the large plumes of dense smoke which completely obstructed his view. The collision investigator said there had been no significant reduction in speed by the lorry driver. The investigator was questioned by the family’s barrister.

England players should be held accountable for run of defeats Jamie George

Steve Borthwick is facing questions over his England future but Jamie George believes it is the players who should be held accountable for a run of five-successive defeats. South Africa emerged 29-20 winners at Allianz Stadium on Saturday to continue an autumn washout in the wake of losses to New Zealand and Australia, with the visit of Japan completing the series in a week’s time. It is their worst sequence of results since 2018 and for the first time since 2006 they have lost three consecutive matches at Twickenham, piling pressure on to Borthwick. England’s head coach has the backing of the Rugby Football Union despite the alarming slump – albeit inflicted by high-calibre opposition – and George insisted he was not to blame for the decline. “We are as frustrated as everyone else and it’s important for us as players to take responsibility for the last three performances,” the team’s captain said. “When you look at the positions that we put ourselves in across all three games and when we play to the plan, I think we are a very, very dangerous team. “When we stray away from that, we allow teams opportunities and that’s exactly what happened against South Africa. “We will be holding our hands up, we will be looking at ourselves and we’re making sure that we find the fixes so that we are ready to go against Japan. “Of course we are disappointed with the results. We wanted to give the England fans three wins for three. “There are definitely things that, of course, we needed to get better at. We need to find the fixes to closing out games. “But I have every confidence and belief in the players and the staff that we will do everything we possibly can to be a significantly better team come next weekend, but also looking ahead to the Six Nations.” To continue a theme of the last five Tests, England were unable to convert a winning position and played their decisive final quarter without their captain on the field. This time George was replaced by Luke Cowan-Dickie with 32 minutes to go and the Saracens hooker revealed in an interview with BBC Sport that “I felt all right out there”. Borthwick’s use of his replacements has come under the spotlight this autumn, although at least against South Africa the influential Marcus Smith was allowed to finish the game at fly-half. “We have leaders all the way across the field. If you look at the team that was on at the end, there was plenty of leaders in that team,” George said. “If you speak to every player, they would always want to play every moment of every game. The hooker jersey is an 80-minute performance across two players.” Jack Van Poortvliet, making his first England appearance in over a year, insisted it was up to the team to halt the slump. “It is on us as players, we are in that position to go and get a result and turn it around,” the Leicester scrum-half said. “We are going to keep learning, keep getting better and keep pushing, but the underlying feeling now is frustration. We are a close group that is progressing, but we need to fix the errors.” Published: 17/11/2024 by Radio NewsHub
