A 21-year-old motorcyclist was killed when he lost control of his bike and veered into a car on the other side of the road.

Canterbury College student Cameron Bracey suffered multiple injuries when his Yamaha bike spun out of control and skidded across the road into the Vauxhall Agila.

Paramedics were unable to revive him and he was pronounced dead at the scene in Upper Road, Dover, on Saturday, August 30, last year.

Cameron’s tragic death sparked an outpouring of grief from his friends and family, who described him as an “amazing guy”.

The driver of the car was Patricia Kanyas, from Hastings, who gave evidence at the hearing in Folkestone.

She said: “It was a bright, sunny day and I was travelling from St Margaret’s Bay to Dover.

“I suddenly saw the motorbike coming towards me and I instantly braked. I thought ‘oh no, there is going to be an accident’..." - car driver Patricia Kanyas

“I suddenly saw the motorbike coming towards me and I instantly braked. I thought ‘oh no, there is going to be an accident’.

“He seemed to be travelling really fast and was in the middle of the road. The bank was right next me so I tried, but I couldn’t physically move out of the way.

“I couldn’t do anything to prevent it. I couldn’t move. The motorbike hit my car and the man then flew off of his bike.”

Pathologist Dr Kareem Aboualfa told the coroner that a post mortem found Cameron, of Paul’s Place, Dover, had suffered multiple, internal injuries.

PC Mark Myers said there had been no contributory factors such as weather, highways defects or vehicle defects, but the analysis had been unable to find out the speed of both the car and the motorbike.

Coroner Rachel Redman concluded: “It seems that Cameron either overreacted to seeing the Vauxhall or over-reacted to the bend in the road and as the wheel locked, he lost control of the bike.

“The bike then slid over into the path of oncoming cars on the other side of the road, and then hit the Vauxhall.

“This is a very sad case but it was through no fault of Patricia Kanyas that this death has arisen. She was driving on her side of the road and tried to move out of the way as much as possible.

"There is nothing she could have done.”

The coroner ruled Cameron’s death was accidental.
