His family described him as the life and soul of all our lives and would light up the room wherever he went'
An inquest has been held into the death of the apprentice bricklayer who died following an incident on the A52. The much-loved teenager died when he either jumped or fell from a bridge over the A52 just a few hundred years from his Borrowash home.
Reaching a narrative conclusion at Derby and Derbyshire Coroner’s Court, Coroner Peter Nieto said: “Lachlan died when he sustained severe and unsurvivable injuries when he either fell or jumped from a footbridge on the A52 and was struck by two vehicles. It is likely he was intoxicated with alcohol at that time.
The inquest heard how Lachlan, of Priorway Avenue, had been drinking during the afternoon of December 3, last year, firstly in the Babington Arms and then at the Corn Exchange where he played pool with friends.Giving evidence at the inquest, Det Con Trish Siddal-Hart, said the teenager then got a lift home from a workmate at Bloor Homes’ girlfriend who had never met him before and described him as “drunk but happy and not particularly slurring his words”.
“She tried to ring him several times and then called Molly-Rose and other friends.” The officer told how the emergency services were called to the A52 where Lachlan had been hit by two cars - a taxi bringing four passengers back from Nottingham and a Jaguar containing a couple from Wiltshire who were staying in a hotel in Derby.Det Con Siddal-Hart said: “In my conclusion, Lachlan was a 19-year-old who lived with his parents with no diagnosed physical or mental health conditions.
