A hospital has taken steps to improve risk assessments after an inquest jury decided it had failed to manage “an obvious risk of self-harm” in a patient who fatally hanged himself. Jonathan Keith Davies (38),

Beware horses, drivers warned


-> FROM PAGE 1 She added that after last


year’s serious accident she has always been wary of riding on Fell Road, although it is the on­ ly route to the bridleway. The ride out, which aimed


to raise awareness that horse riders are vulnerable road us­ ers, was held on Sunday and took in part of Waddington’s Fell Road, where last year’s se­ rious accident happened. Of­ ficers were on hand to advise motorists who failed to drive carefully andcourteouslynear the riders. Katherine said: “As well as


the help we’ve received from Lancashire Police, local land- owners have also been very supportive and they have gen­ erously allowed us to ride on their land following the acci­ dent, as it has made them re­ alise how vulnerable we are.” PCSO Di Bioletti is keen to


makemotorists more aware of how dangerous their actions can be around horses. She explained: “Riders are


reporting near misses and col­ lisions, mainly as a result of motorists not slowing down sufficiently to allow for the fact that they are passing an animal whose instinct is to re­ act to perceived dangers. “With ever increasing traf­


fic and more horse riders now, is agood time to try to improve roadsafetyforhorseridersand


motorists sharing Valley roads. “Both have a right to use


the road and both share a re­ sponsibility to consider each other’s needs. Mutual courtesy andconsiderationis important in maintaining safety, as well as an awareness that a horse, however well-schooled, may spook, jump or spin roundif it is frightened.” The main messages to mo­


torists are: • Treat all horses as a haz­


ard and expect the unexpect­ ed. Follow the Highway Code. • When overtaking pass


wide and slow. Don’t see a gap and go for i t - a horse can jump sixfeetsidewayssothegapmay disappear. • For increased safety,


riders may ride two abreast - please be patient they will re­ turn to single file when it is safe to do so. • Watch out for riders’ sig­


nals and heed a request to stop orslowdown-theyareinapo- sition to spot a hazard you may not see. • Don’t rev your engine,


sound your horn or play very loud music near a horse and rider. •Whenbehindahorse,give them at least two car lengths


space and be ready to stop. • Be aware of the reactions


of the horse. Is it agitated? If so stop and switch offyour engine - especially ifyou are driving a large or noisy vehicle.
