CUMBRIA, UK — A motorcyclist who suffered severe brain injuries when he hit an ambulance parked too close to a race track near Whitehaven has been awarded a six-figure sum.
Former mechanic Peter Corbett was unconscious for three months following the crash at Rowrah and needs daily help for life. He and his wife Anita, who gave up work to care for him, have now won a six-figure sum to help access appropriate care and rehabilitation.
The 54-year-old was taking part in a motorbike and sidecar race event at the track at Rowrah in April 2006 when he left the track at a bend and hit an ambulance, which a judge ruled was parked too close to the corner and was unsafe.
