18-year-old Thomas Ferguson was pronounced dead at the scene

Thomas Ferguson was pronounced dead at the scene after he was thrown from his KTM motorcycle on the A19 near Great Thirkleby, on September 27 last year.Collision investigator Nigel Varney told the inquest that Mr Ferguson may have been blown into the right-hand lane by a strong gust of wind or he attempted “a poorly judged overtake”.

He said Jessica Kirk, who was driving the Seat Terraco, had “no time to react to avoid a collision” and the motorcycle “suddenly appeared” in front of her. Ms Kirk, who was driving with her four-month-old daughter, said the motorcycle pulled out in front of her and she had “no time to react”. “It was within a second that it happened. There was no time to react. There was no time. I didn't see him beforehand."The car veered off the road, went through a bush and flipped onto its side before coming to a stop in a field. Ms Kirk and her daughter were helped by an off-duty police officer before being treated at the scene by paramedics.
