Teen girl and mum killed when rotting tree fell on their car
Reading from the report, Mr Wooderson said: "The roots of the tree failed due to extensive root decay caused by a common root fungi and these roots could not support the tree.
"This caused the tree to fall over. Mr Cox is of the opinion the heatwave of 2018 sped up the tree's decline."The coroner said there were visible signs of decay, and added: "Mr Cox is of the opinion the tree had been showing signs of distress and could fail for a number of years previously. "If the recommendation of annual inspection was in place, Mr Cox is of the opinion the tree would have been identified in 2018 or 2019 as requiring felling or severe pruning to prevent it from falling."
The court heard police interviewed two people in relation to the investigation but took no further action. The Health and Safety Executive didn't pursue the matter either."It is clear from the evidence Mrs Reason died when a tree fell and hit the motor vehicle in which she was driving," he said.
