'There were no warning signs at Plurenden Road of the crossroads ahead. This could have caused confusion to the driver approaching.'
The young couple died in a collision last summer Two parents-to-be died at a ‘treacherous’ junction due to a Give Way sign ‘turned the wrong way’, an inquest heard. Josh Alexander, 21, and Jessica Poole, 18, were both killed when the white Vauxhall Corsa they were travelling in was involved in a smash with a DAF truck in Ashford, Kent. At an inquest in Maidstone last week, cops said they believe ‘heavily worn’ road markings and a rotated Give Way sign contributed to the crash.
PC Masterson also mentioned the front air bags of Josh’s car did not deploy but the outcome would not have been any different even if it had. Jessica loved horses, friends said Josh was described as his father’s ‘proudest achievement’ Coroner Katrina Hepburn wrote to Kent County Council to see what changes have been made to the junction since the accident before considering whether she will write a ‘prevention of future deaths’ report.
