Dad-of-four with 'cheeky grin' died after being hit by RAC vehicle in M67 tragedy
Chris Gaffney, 34, walked onto the motorway after leaving a pub. He died of multiple injuries at about 8pm on January 2., South Manchester Coroner's Court in Stockport was told.
Senior Coroner Alison Mutch said the vehicle was travelling between 45mph and 54mph. She said "It was dark and he was wearing dark clothing. The driver would have had insufficient time to stop." "He went on to the M67 on January 2. Visibility was difficult given the time of day, and having entered the M67 on foot he was struck by a vehicle. The evidence of DC Kennedy shows the vehicle was driving appropriately for conditions at the time.
Ms Mutch concluded that Mr Gaffney, who lived in Denton, had died as a result of multiple injuries and recorded an accidental death. She offered her sincere condolences to his family.
