Shropshire woman died when car hit brick wall, coroner told
A woman died when her car crashed into a brick wall on a country road, an inquest heard.
Sherelyne Norris, 43, of Maesbury, was killed when her car hit a wall on a sharp bend at Woolston Bank, near her home, on December 18.
The inquest held at Shirehall, Shrewsbury, heard Ms Norris, who was driving a black Ford Fiesta, had failed to negotiate a right hand bend and hit the brick wall.
The inquest heard Kimberley Jones was in her house when she heard the impact and ran to the car.
Paramedics arrived at 3.08pm and she was assessed and pronounced dead at 3.12pm.
There were no witnesses to the collision and no defects were found when the car was examined.
Shropshire coroner Mr John Ellery said the cause of death was head and neck injuries and concluded that Ms Norris died as a result of a road traffic collision.
Ms Norris grew up in the area and was a former pupil of Welshpool High School.
She was driving home after a shift at the White Lion pub in Whittington.
The inquest heard that Ms Norris had been working from 11am until 3.15pm before finishing and driving home.
A statement read to the inquest said Ms Norris had suffered from seizures and these could last up to 20 minutes. Her work colleagues had seen her experience two seizures in the 10 days leading up to her death.
Mr Ellery, coroner for Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin, said: "She was driving along a straight piece of road and not made the bend at the top.
"There is no evidence it was a deliberate act so I will discount that.
"We know she had a medical history and that might be the answer here.
"Something made her drive straight on.
"No evidence that something made her swerve but it may have been part of her medical condition.
"Beyond that I would be speculating."
At the time of her death, Ms Norris's parents, Olwen and Geoffrey Norris, paid tribute to her "loving personality" and said she would be greatly missed.
Mr Norris said: "Sherelyne was a very happy girl who had loads of friends and wonderful neighbours."
"She will be dearly missed but never forgotten," Mr Norris had said.
