The deaths of seven passengers in the Croydon tram crash were accidental, the jury at the coroner's inquest in south London has decided, in a verdict that was met with anger by families of the victims. In a narrative verdict, the jury said contributing factors were that the driver had become disoriented and not braked in time, while TOL, the tram operator, had failed to adequately account for the risk of a high-speed derailment, or ensure a just culture where drivers felt able to report health and safety concerns.
