Coroner delivers findings over 15-year-old girl's death in crash near Telford town centre

An inquest into the death of Daniele Vaitkeviciute, 15, took place at Shropshire Coroner's Court in Shrewsbury on Wednesday.

She suffered blunt trauma injuries to her head and was taken to Birmingham Children's Hospital for treatment, but died later that day. "I should say at this stage I have seen no evidence at all that the driver could have avoided the collision. He would have had little or no chance to see Daniele crossing, what would have been from him to his right."During the inquest the coroner took time to consider whether Daniele had deliberately run into the road, having heard evidence that she left school with another person at around 3pm that day, with the intention of killing themselves by taking painkillers.

The coroner said that the pair parted ways at Asda in the town centre and Daniele had made her way towards the area where the collision took place – but had said nothing about her intentions, only"she simply did not want to go home".
