Call for quicker reviews of serious road accidents
Police and council highways officials should speed up how they report and review road collisions to prevent future deaths, a coroner's report has stated. It comes after David Walsh, 40, and his son Cameron, 16, died last year when the car Mr Walsh was test-driving went into Louth Canal close to Tetney Lock, near Grimsby. Published on Monday, the coroner's prevention of future death (PFD) report has been sent to Lincolnshire County Council and Lincolnshire Police. It found that crashes involving injuries and deaths that might have been due in part to road conditions were not immediately reported by police to the highways authority. The report by Marianne Johnson, assistant coroner for Greater Lincolnshire, also found that crashes involving injuries or deaths were reviewed by the highways team on only an annual basis. This includes deciding on potential safety improvements to reduce the risk of future incidents. A PFD report is issued when a coroner thinks action is needed to protect lives. Ms Johnson said that not reviewing road traffic collisions more regularly could mean there was a "possibility that other incidents can occur prior to the annual review that could have been prevented" if the report had been made at the time of the crash instead. The council and Lincolnshire Police have been given 56 days to respond to the report with a "timetable for action". Mr Walsh's Mercedes ended up upside down and fully submerged apart from its two rear wheels when it left Tetney Lock Road and went into the canal on 6 January last year. Both he and his son were pronounced dead at the scene. PC Nick Prestwich told the hearing into their deaths there was a sign on that stretch of road warning drivers it was "undulated and uneven". Richard Fenwick, head of highways asset and local management services at the county council, confirmed the car would have driven past a warning sign about 650ft (about 200m) before the scene of the crash. He said the warning signs were "appropriate". The inquest found last month that Mr Walsh and Cameron died in a road traffic collision. Lincolnshire Police has been contacted by the BBC for comment on the PFD report. A council spokesperson said: "We are unable to comment until a response to the coroner has been completed by the deadline date set in the document."

Man charged after kilt-wearing attacker smashes case holding Scotland's Stone of Destiny
LONDON — A man from Australia has been charged with 'malicious mischief' for allegedly smashing a glass case holding the Stone of Destiny , an ancient symbol of Scottish nationhood. Arnaud Harixcalde Logan, 35, appeared at Perth Sheriff Court on Monday to face the charge, which is similar to vandalism. Logan, whose address was given as Sydney, wasn't asked to enter a plea and was ordered detained until a hearing next week. Police said that they were called to a 'disturbance' at Perth Museum in central Scotland on Saturday, after reports of a kilt-wearing man attempting to smash the case containing the royal rock. The 335-pound (150-kilogram) sandstone block is also known as the Stone of Scone (Skoon) — and was used in the crowning ceremonies of medieval Scottish monarchs at Scone Abbey, near Perth. It was stolen by England's King Edward I in the 13th century and taken to Westminster Abbey in London, where it was installed under the seat of the coronation chair. It has been used in coronations at the abbey ever since — first of English and then of British monarchs The English and Scottish crowns were united under one monarch in the 17th century. The stone's presence in London long irked Scottish nationalists. In 1950, it was stolen from Westminster Abbey by four Glasgow university students, but was returned in time for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. It was given back to Scotland in 1996, 700 years after its seizure, and displayed in Edinburgh Castle, with the understanding that it would return to England for use in future coronations. Sensitivities around the stone meant that it had to be moved to London in secrecy and amid tight security for the coronation of King Charles III in 2023. Last year it was put on display at the newly renovated Perth Museum where, according to the building's website, there are 'a range of 24/7 security measures in place at the Museum to protect this precious object.' Culture Perth and Kinross, which oversees the museum, said the stone wasn't damaged in the incident.

Dealer who sold drugs on Kev Line caught out with silly mistake
A dealer who helped run a notorious drugs line in Bradford has been locked up. Martin Tiser, 23, was caught out by officers working under "Operation Keyside" when he topped up a phone known for being involved in the "Kev Line," Bradford Crown Court heard on Thursday, July 10. Prosecutor Alisha Kaye said: "Operation Keyside is an investigation into county lines drug dealing through the use of mobile phones in the Bradford area. It began in March this year. "Officers identified the phone lines that were active in the Bradford area supplying class A drugs. One of the lines sending tests was the Kev line. Cell data obtained from February 2025 showed a number of calls and bulk texts [from that number.] It was linked to a number of drug user's phones. Messages were sent advertising drugs in April and May." READ MORE: Mohammed Mehmood to stand trial accused of murdering Muhammad Junaid Khan in Bradford READ MORE: Bradford dealer's silly mistake which landed him in prison Text adverts included one that read: "Kev on dynamite from 8-8. Best deals." The court heard that on May 3 this year, just after midnight, a top up voucher for the phone was purchased from a shop. CCTV footage showed Tiser buying the voucher. Ms Kaye said an investigation prior to his arrest found the drugs line was active close to his address. The prosecutor said: "He was arrested on 28th May, just after 5am. A search warrant was executed at his address. He was found in the attic bedroom. He confirmed he was living and sleeping there. Officers searched his house and his mobile phone and the 'Kev line' phone was found on him. He produced £1,000 in cash and he was escorted outside and was stopped outside as he waiting for officers and was found to be in possession of 29 wraps of crack cocaine, and 13 wraps of heroin, which had an estimated street value of £420. A search was carried out at the property and officers found more cash, totalling more than £1,000, along with kitchen scales and grip sealed bags. In a shed in Tiser's garden, as well as a "bull breed" dog, officers discovered crack cocaine worth an estimated £15,310 and cocaine worth an estimated £2,220, as well as a small set of scales. Ms Kaye said that Tiser, of Parkside Road in Bradford, had previous convictions for driving while over the prescribed drug limit, and possession of cannabis. Mitigating, Safter Salam, said: "He came here unable to speak a word of English. He struggled to assimilate himself and challenges that this defendant faced were not just linguistic. He grew up in a deprived area, being isolated socially and emotionally. He was highly vulnerable to exploitation. "He was preyed upon and manipulated by other, more sophisticated, individuals. His conduct from this offending arises from coercion, fear and psychological manipulation. His account is consistent with exploitation. This offending took place when he was unsupported and desperate. It is not accepted he had a leading role or significant role." Recorder Hawks jailed Tiser for four years for two counts of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs, and two counts of possession with intent to supply class A drugs. He said: "You're only 23 and you have a conviction in relation to drugs, but it was simply possession of cannabis, but it was plain you were taking drugs, and it may be because of that you got involved in these offences." Tiser will have to serve up to half of his sentence in custody before being released on licence.
