A teenage motorcyclist died from multiple injuries after colliding with a combine harvester on a country road, an inquest has heard. Harry Abbey, 19, was travelling on Hollins Lane in Warrington shortly before midday on July 21 last year when he hit the brakes suddenly, causing him to lose control of his Yamaha bike.
He came off his vehicle and into the path of an oncoming combine harvester. Mr Abbey, from Warrington, was pronounced dead at the scene, Warrington Coroner's Court was told yesterday (April 20).
The collision occurred as a tractor - which was towing a trailer - was escorting the large combine harvester around a bend near Watery Lane at 11.54am. The hearing was told that a blue Ford Fiesta, which was travelling in front of Mr Abbey, had braked "sharply" as the combine harvester came into view.
