Motorcyclist died of multiple injuries in Shropshire A5 crash
A motorcyclist died as a result of multiple injuries following a crash with a car on the A5 in Shropshire, an inquest heard.
Shropshire coroner John Ellery opened the inquest into the death of Scott Edward Roberts.
The 32-year-old engineer, from Walsall, was travelling in the direction of Shrewsbury when his bike slipped from under him and he collided with a Ford Fiesta.
The crash happened just before 8am on the A5 between Oswestry and West Felton on September 26
The busy stretch of road was closed in both directions between the B6009 at Queen's Head and Mile End after the accident. The driver of the Fiesta was not injured.
Following the crash, Murray MacGregor, West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman, said: "When crews arrived they found members of the public and police officers carrying out CPR on the motorcyclist.
"Ambulance staff took over and carried out advanced life support but sadly, despite best efforts, it wasn't possible to save the man and he was confirmed dead at the scene.
"The man driving the car was understandably shaken by what had happened, but was uninjured and was discharged."
Mr Ellery said a post mortem revealed Mr Roberts had died from multiple injuries as a result of a road traffic collision.
He adjourned the inquest until February 17 next year.
It will take place at Shirehall in Shrewsbury.
