Teenager died after colliding with metre-high cable

摘要

A Southport tree nursery has been ordered to pay more than £100,000 in fines and costs following the death of a teenager who came off his motorbike when it collided with a metal cable strung between two trees. Ryan Acaster, 17, had visited the Hesketh Estate in Crossens on 20 July 2008 with a few friends to use his off-road bike on a track next to Suttons Wood. He suffered fatal head injuries when he was thrown from his 110cc off-road bike after it hit a 2cm-thick wire that was strung across the track a metre above the ground. He was taken to hospital, where he died from his injuries.
