Inquest hears 'motorcycle malfunction' led to crash that killed William Dunlop

A forensic collision report into the death of motorcyclist William Dunlop four years ago concluded there was a malfunction with his motorcycle, an inquest has heard.

Lawyers for the owners of the vehicle, Mar-Train, Mr Dunlop’s racing team, told a pre-hearing they believed a more correct description of what happened would be there was “damage sustained” by the motorcycle.

The rider from Ballymoney, Co Antrim, was killed in a crash in Skerries, Co Dublin, on July 7, 2018 during a practice run for the Skerries 100 races.
