No evidence of this involving other vehicles on the CCTV, no evidence of medical problems produced at the Coroners Court during the Inquest. The family were quick to tell the press he was suffering medical problems...but refused to say what they were. It could be anything, maybe mental health issues. You will know yourself as a professional driver that you need to notify DVLA of certain things, so does a GP and anyone failing to can be prosecuted. If you knew you had a problem that meant you were not allowed to drive, you wouldn't do so. The Coroner is trying to protect families, but it only delays the true outcome and makes him look dishonest.

@dickieblench5001 NO IT IS NOT as it was glossed over in the Inquest hearing, no cause of death was given although it was known after a rushed post mortem. This makes me wonder whether it was to stop a backlash against the family that announced to the press just after the accident that they knew he was suffering medical problems. Why would anyone continue to drive knowing this and put so many people at risk? We are not being told the truth. If a driver was suffering medical problems they had a duty to report this to their employer and DVLA, their GP was also required by Law to report any notifiable conditions to DVLA. This is done to stop people being put at risk.

@grimreaperbadboy This was not found or produced as evidence at the Coroners Court during the inquest, so it is not true.

@grimreaperbadboy Not true as it was not found at a postmortem and not produced in evidence at the Inquest before a Coroners Court.

@sneakybudda NOT TRUE there was no medical evidence produced at the Inquest at the Coroners Court to suggest anything of the sort. The driver could have only fell asleep at the wheel.

The postmortem never showed ANY medical condition, or it would have been recorded by his GP and DVLA and produced and used in evidence at the inquest by the Coroner. It's more likely he fell asleep at the wheel as police did not find any drink or drugs in his system and neither did the postmortem or this would have been produced in evidence at the Coroners Court. I'm wondering why the family were so quick to tell the press about an existing medical problem together with a gofundme when the Coroner did not agree there was any medical cause for this accident. The Coroners inquest is available to all to read through.

@emilyhughes4297 Evidence was not given at the inquest and in Law, the decision is invalid and should be revisited with all the medical information being taken in to account. The Coroner has chosen to keep information to himself to protect the driver's family, but others deserve a true explanation. Why did the driver's family announce to the press that he was suffering a medical problem? DVLA should have revoked his licence until the correct tests were performed, his GP was required by Law to report him to DVLA and his employer should have been informed and made a decision to suspend him until the results of tests and decision by DVLA, something is not right about this. Had the proper procedures been followed, this would not have happened.

The post-mortem did not suggest this and no cause of death was given at the inquest - it was an incomplete investigation. What is a concern is the family knew and announced the driver was having medical issues but still chose to put all those children at risk. It is lucky many more were not killed by the driver.

The Police investigation ruled out mechanical failure, distraction from phones etc and interaction with other vehicles just before the coach left the road. A number of lines of enquiry would be followed to study the driving before the crash - using the vehicle data to recreate the journey and show the position of all controls. The coach camera system would be viewed too. The police would have requested blood samples from the hospital for testing for drink and drugs, but nothing was found as no evidence of drink or legal or illegal drugs that could have impaired driving were found as there was no evidence produced to the Coroner at the Inquest. The postmortem failed to find any existing medical conditions as none were presented to the Coroner as evidence in the Inquest. GP records would be requested to look at the mental health of the driver, but nothing of interest was presented as evidence to the Coroner for the Inquest hearing. The family claimed the driver had suffered from some sort of medical condition at the time of the accident, but were told not to talk to the press and did not elaborate on what they thought it was. The postmortem found nothing. This could lead to two possibilities, a mental health condition - but the GP records did not show this, or he simply fell asleep as he was tired. This is looking like a more likely explanation in the absence of ANY medical findings. If he had medical problems he would have been prevented from driving anyway, so I can see why the Coroner is trying to protect families involved, but it is not correct to do this and withhold information.
