GB News: Local council blamed for death of elderly rider, 70, who crashed after hitting pothole - 'Take responsibility'
North Northamptonshire Council faces legal action after the death of 70-year-old Robert Newcombe, who crashed his motorcycle due to a pothole on a poorly maintained road. An inquest found the degraded surface caused his fatal injuries, prompting his widow to seek damages.
Despite the findings, the council denies wrongdoing and has been accused of blaming the rider for the accident. The widow claims the council has not taken responsibility or offered condolences, while her lawyer emphasizes the need for councils to maintain road safety to prevent future tragedies.
