Coroner Says Seth Fulton, 11, Was Not Safe to Cross Derby Road

On April 17, 11-year-old Seth Fulton died after being struck by a bus and a Polo on Nottingham Road in Chaddesden. Coroner Susan Evans concluded it was "not safe" for him to cross the road.
Seth was cycling along the pavement of Nottingham Road when he spotted his mother on the opposite side and attempted to cross the street to reach her, entering the path of oncoming traffic.
Neither the driver of the Polo nor the bus had "sufficient opportunity" to avoid the collision, according to Evans's written inquest, which recorded a traumatic head injury as the cause of death.
Evans formally concluded that the 11-year-old died in a road traffic collision, providing official closure to the inquest into the April 17 incident that occurred in Chaddesden.
Family members paid tribute to the "adventurous" child who had a "lust for life," describing Seth Fulton as compassionate and inquisitive, with a passion for skateboarding and BMX riding.
