was being driven normally. Asked ‘ by the coroner if she felt the dri­ ver was not, in any way, having regard to the road conditions, Miss Dyson replied: "No." There was no possibility of taking avoid­ ing action as the sheep came out under the wheel. V; Nearby resident . Mr John


Hughes said sheep sometimes got across the cattle grid. There had been other accidents with them on


the stretch below it, but none with such tragic consequences. Accident investigator PC Bren­


dan Kellet said there were the car­ casses of two recently killed sheep just higher up'the road than the Land-Rover. . ■ Although no accurate speed for


the vehicle could be calculated from marks left going into the banking, the officer said: "I do not think excessive speed was a con­ tributory factor." The gate by the | cattle grid was closed. \ He had seen sheep above the I cattle grid while on his way to the | accident from Clitheroe. . Summing up, the coroner said it I was always a tragedy when a life was lost. I t seemed there was no chance for the driver to have avoided the accident, or its conse- | quences. ■ : , Mr Singleton expressed his


sympathy to the Thompson fami­ ly, saying people could only begin to imagine the trauma and distress they had gone through. What had happened would also leave memo­ ries with the driver and passenger.
