An inquest revealed that Maryam Nabil Shuwey, an 18-year-old girl from Plaistow Grove, suffered a severed spinal cord after being struck by a vehicle on October 15. Emergency responders and bystanders attempted to assist her despite the severe nature of her injuries. Shuwey was pronounced dead shortly after the incident, leading to ongoing police investigations into the crash.
The coroner, Nadia Persaud, expressed the need for a thorough police investigation report, specifically seeking details from the forensic collision investigator and more about any potential criminal charges stemming from the incident. This ensures that if any legal matters arise, they are addressed before the inquest continues, which has been provisionally scheduled for April 23.
During the inquest, coroner Nadia Persaud made it clear that the future proceedings would depend on the status of the police investigation. She stated that, should there be criminal charges, the inquest would be delayed until after a trial has been held. This highlights the interconnected nature of legal proceedings and the importance of thorough investigations in traffic incidents.
Witness testimony, along with police and medical reports, will be vital to understanding the circumstances surrounding Maryam Shuwey's tragic death. The evidence collected will guide both the inquest and any potential criminal proceedings related to this road traffic collision.
