The father of a teenage biker killed in a crash on Snake Pass has told his son's inquest that he wouldn't go to the hospital that treated his son 'if his life depended on it'. George Wakefield was taken to the Salford Royal Hospital on September 29, 2018, following a collision on the A57, DerbyshireLive reports.
The 19-year-old had been riding his motorbike along the road out from Glossop with some friends when he was hit by an oncoming car, which had been attempting to overtake a parked police van and recovery vehicle that had been dealing with an abandoned motorcycle, the hearing was told.
After the collision, Mr Wakefield, a railway worker from Hadfield, Derbyshire was taken to the hospital in Salford where the following day he underwent surgery on a series of broken bones.
