Eyewitness Jannette Presley said the lorry was “about five to ten metres” from the junction when Mrs Gummery pulled out. The collision happened about 3.20pm on July 10 as Mrs Gummery, who lived in Woodleigh Road, Ledbury, was leaving the property with a friend, Pamela Weaver. She told Mr Wooderson her friend was a cautious driver. Lorry driver Arnold Rowland provided a writ— ten statement saying “I don’t believe there was an ything I could have done to avoid the accident,” he said. Police examination showed Mr Rowland was travelling at 45mph before the collision - the limit on the road being 50mph - and 33mph on impact. At that rate, collision in- vestigator PC Mark Mur- phy said the lorry would have been visible to Mrs Gummery for six seconds. He said a possible scenar- io was that Mrs Gummery pressed the accelerator while waiting to pull out instead of the brake. Records showed Mr Row- land had been driving for four hours and 48 min utes without a break, but PC Murphy was satisfied he would not have been fatigued enough for it to have impaired his driving. Mr Wooderson recorded the medical cause of death as multiple injuries and concluded Mrs Gummery died as a result of a road traffic collision.
