An inquest hears how 75-year-old Shropshire mayor Barry Panter died after being involved in a collision with a tractor towing a muck spreader in Woore. The incident occurred on 13 February of last year, when Panter was travelling to a council meeting. According to the evidence described, he was struck by the farm vehicle. The inquest also considers the circumstances around the lighting conditions, including claims that Panter may have been blinded by the tractor’s bright headlights. The reports state the tractor was towing a muck spreader at the time and that the collision happened on the route to the council meeting location. The inquest focuses on how the crash occurred and what factors may have contributed to the fatality. It does not indicate that a final conclusion has been reached beyond the matters being considered by the court. The case remains under inquest as the evidence is examined.
