A university graduate was killed in a car crash near Harrogate after the driver lost control on a wet road because he was travelling “too fast”, an inquest was told.
Juliana Keshishian was in a blue Vauxhall Corsa with two friends from the University of Leeds when it aquaplaned off the B6451 in Stainburn Forest during a spell of heavy rain, went airborne and hit a tree in June 2020. At an inquest in Northallerton, the 22-year-old’s family described her as an “amazing, loving, joyful, caring, kind, gentle and humble” person who would have made “a substantial contribution to society”.
North Yorkshire Police said Mr Garnett was not speeding on the winding, rural road, which has a 60mph speed limit, but he was “driving too fast for the road conditions and layout” and he “lost control as a result”. The force also said he hit the brakes when the car began to aquaplane, instead of easing off the accelerator and turning the steering wheel in the direction of the skid.
