He died after another driver attempted to overtake him and lost control in a puddle of water
Mr Green, who was not injured in the crash, was driving to Burton-on-Trent for work that morning, but said he was not in a rush or speeding.
Forensic collision investigator Steven Gardner said it was dark, as there were no street lights, and there was “an extremely heavy downpour” and standing water on the road. He said the investigation found Mr Green “lost control” of his Audi after hitting a patch of water, which then collided with the rear wheel of the Peagout and knocked it off the road.The inquest was told patches of standing water are always found on the carriageway during periods of heavy rain, but the gullies were cleared in July 2020 and civil engineers carried out an inspection of the carriageway in October but found no serious defects.
“Water on the carriageway was the cause of Mr Green’s vehicle losing traction. The rain that morning was very heavy,” he said.She said: “Brian and I had been together for 26 years. He was hard working and always had to be doing something. He loved fishing and gardening and would help anyone else who needed it. I loved Brian so much.”
