Council chiefs are being urged to take action after a 'salt of the earth' couple were killed in a tragic double collision. Michael Draper and Rafal Wojdyl were rushed to hospital following the crash on the A57 Cadishead Way, in Irlam, on June 23 last year.
Sadly, 62-year-old Mr Draper died in hospital on July 3, before 43-year-old Mr Wojdyl died 10 days later. Both died as a result of their injuries from the horror crash, an inquest at Bolton Coroners' Court heard in February.
Now, the coroner involved has written to the highways department at Salford City Council calling for a review into the safety of the junction where the tragedy unfolded. In a report published this week, coroner Prof Dr Alan Walsh told the council: "In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and I believe you have the power to take such action."
