The coroner's concerns
1. overgrown foliage and hedgerow limiting visibility
“The topography at the collision scene location was considered significant”
2. sharp left bend with poor visibility
“The left hand bend for those approaching the junction on the A548 from the Llangernyw direction”
3. obstructive rusted railings blocking sightlines
“The railings to the right of the junction are old and rusty and their position provides a barrier from view down the road”
4. excessive speed on dangerous junction
“the stretch of road in question is subject to a national speed limit and it is a concern that this high Speed does not account for the dangerous junction at Wterloo Hill.”
5. lack of proactive safety measures at junction
“I have contacted the local council to see what can be done to promote safety at this junction”
6. future fatalities at junction
“deaths will occur into the future and/or continue to occur as a result of these concerns”
