Schoolgirl who died in coach crash was one of few wearing seatbelt, inquest told

A teenager who died when a school bus crashed on a motorway was one of the few onboard wearing a seatbelt at the time, an inquest has heard.

Jessica had been dressed for PE when she was dropped at the bus stop near her home in Blacon, Chester, that morning, the court heard. After the inquest was opened in October, he issued a prevention of future deaths report which raised concerns about the use of seatbelts as CCTV did not show they were being used.

The inquest heard that CCTV showed Mr Shrimpton, who was not wearing a seatbelt, slump to his left-hand side before the vehicle left the motorway, going up an embankment, hitting a tree and rolling back on to the hard shoulder.Mr Rebello said a post-mortem examination showed the driver had extensive ischemic heart disease which could have caused an abrupt collapse and sudden death.
