Evidence was heard from eye witnesses to the collision; One witness who knows the area very well stated, am well used to tyres screeching in Crow Lane , people are always driving too quickly in Crow Lane. The Senior Investigating Officer also gave evidence to confirm that local residents are concerned about speeding in that area The Collision Investigator gave evidence to confirm that in order to reduce the risk of death in the future, steps should be taken to put something physical in place, on the road, to help ensure that vehicles are travelling at the speed limit on approach to the bend, Such physical measures might be speed bumps Another possibility that he considered was for another trief curb to be put on the south footway (mirroring the opposite curb), to deflect vehicles away from the pavement and back into the road; The Senior Investigating Officer also confirmed that measures should be taken to slow vehicles down; She confirmed that physical measures, such as speed bumps, would be Of greater value than illuminated or other signs. The presence of the trief curb had a causative impact upon the death of Lauren Brown. It was the presence of the trief curb which deflected the Ford Transit Van onto the south footway where the collision with Miss Brown occurred. Evidence was heard that the presence of the trief curb is necessary to prevent vehicles that are travelling at speed from ending Up on the railway line This was the reason why the trief curb was put in place. Again, an eyewitness commented that "on the right hand side of the road is a raised concrete kerb. This is there to stop people from crashing through the fence and onto the railway line remember the road before this kerb was here and people would come round the bend too quickly and end up on the rails_ The Collision Investigator also confirmed that one of his colleagues had dealt with a fatal case where a driver had crashed onto the railway lines_ The trief curb therefore appears to be appropriately located. Had Mr Tilbury been travelling at the required speed of 3Omph, the trief curb would not have posed a risk to him or Miss Brown;
