Overview
- The inquests at Cheshire Coroner's Court recorded accidental deaths for Owen Jenner, 21, and Shane Richardson, 29, following the May 5 crash at Oulton Park.
- Evidence showed Richardson over-accelerated about 300m from the start and was thrown into the pack, leaving Jenner unable to avoid the collision.
- Post-mortems found both riders sustained unsurvivable injuries, with Jenner dying at the scene from head injuries and Richardson later from chest injuries en route to Royal Stoke University Hospital.
- Cheshire Police’s collision investigator reported no defects at the Old Hall corner and confirmed required licences and inspections were in place.
- The coroner noted Richardson had reported motion sickness and occasional blurred vision in 2024 but found no evidence these issues contributed to the crash.
