Burton-on-Trent boy fell under lorry on way to school – inquest

The inquest heard the John Taylor Free School pupil had been riding a bike given by a friend after his bus service was cancelled.

Hussein’s mother Kimberley Quig said she had promised to buy him a new one for Christmas and was unaware of any defects with the one he was riding.

Staffordshire Police forensic collision investigator PC Daniel Sutton told the court the bike may have been too big for Hussein, which may have contributed to his fall.

He added the lorry was in the correct road position, had no defects and had only reached a maximum speed of 16mph (25.7km/h) according to its dashcam, while Hussein’s bike did not have a rear brake.

Area coroner Emma Serrano said neither Hussein nor Mr Sibblies could be blamed for the incident and recorded the teenager’s death as a road traffic collision.

She said: “Hussein fell in to the road as Mr Sibblies is driving his lorry. There is no suggestion either were at fault.

“Hussein was on the pavement and for whatever reason, he has fallen into the road at exactly the wrong time.”

In a statement after Hussein’s death, his family described him as “a precious son” who would be “missed more than we can put into words”.
