The coroner said a 'number of errors' had been made by the driver but stated action could be taken by Jaguar Land Rover.
A coroner has recommended that Jaguar Land Rover add an "intermediary step" to put an electric vehicle in reverse or drive following the death of a seven-year-old boy in Devon.Coroner Deborah Archer acknowledged a "number of errors" had been made by the driver of a Jaguar I-Pace but she also stated that a design change by the car maker could prevent similar incidents.
According to the report, the driver of the Jaguar had been attempting to park on the road beside a VW van which was parked next to Alfie's father's car. The coroner's report stated that the driver continued to accelerate "pushing the white VW van forwards, trapping Alfie between the VW van and his father’s Kia".
