Passengers were injured in 2016 after this tram derailed in South London

A two month inquest into a tram crash in Croydon in 2016 is over, with jurors considering their verdict for a second day.

The jurors are considering if the seven deaths in the incident were an ‘unlawful killing’ or an ‘accident’.

In November 2016 the tram derailed at Sandilands Junction in Croydon. Over 50 people were injured.

The Rail Accident Investigation Branch had said that the driver, Alfred Dorris, may have slipped into a micro sleep.

The inquest also heard from the branch’s chief inspector, Simon French, who said that the tram had ‘absolutely’ been travelling at speed.

But the inquest, which did not hear from Mr Dorris directly, was also told that his training and health records were all up to date.

The jury continues to consider its verdict, and will have to reach a unanimous decision.
