A road worker died after a diabetic motorist who had felt unwell at the wheel for half a mile crashed into a trench where he was working, an inquest heard.
Electrical engineer Martin Andrew Parker, 39, suffered catastrophic chest injuries when a Vauxhall Astra crashed through roadworks and ploughed into a ditch where he was replacing cabling. He died at the scene.
An inquest into his death heard that diabetic driver of the Astra, who had 'skipped breakfast' and admitted he struggled with his vision moments before the crash, was investigated for allegedly causing death by dangerous driving but he died before any charges were brought.
