A specific downhill road section preceding a right-hand bend lacked appropriate warning signs or markings, warranting a review to prevent future collisions.

View full coroner's concerns

_ (1) The precise location of this collision was on Colliery Road, Brereton 468 metres the Rugeley side of Stile Cop Road: Mr Taylor was driving towards Brereton and this is a downhill straight section of road prior to a right hand bend. It maybe that this section of road and the bend are similar to many others in the Cannock Chase area but wonder if you could carry out a review of the location and see if any warning signs or markings might be appropriate.
