A teenager sent a message to his mother saying "I'm tired" before he died in a tragic collision. Robert Adams, 19, was driving on the A55 when he collided with a lorry in May, 2022.
The teen's Vauxhall Astra was wedged under the trailer of the vehicle which contained 13 tons of cheese. He suffered major injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, reports NorthWalesLive.
At an inquest on Friday, dashcam footage was shown from the Astra before the collision and viewed by members of Mr Adams' family who were present. A statement was read on behalf of his mother, Lorraine Lansbury, who was with the family on the day of the accident.
Her son had spent the afternoon at a fair with relatives before going Deiniolen in the village of Gwynedd, Wales to visit his girlfriend. At around 1.25am he called his mother to tell him he was on his way home but admitted he was "tired". He sent her a picture of himself in cruise control keeping to a 40mph zone.
But nine minutes later the crash occurred with the driver of the Volvo lorry, James Boyce, who told police he was slowing down to approach a 30mph zone when the collision happened, his tachometer confirmed that he was travelling at 29.2mph.
Mr Adams' family said he had a 'heart of gold' and was always keen to help others. No mechanical defects were found on the vehicles involved.
John Gittins, senior coroner for North Wales East and Central, recorded a conclusion of death in a road traffic collision.
He said: “I don’t believe for one second that he did it deliberately. It was just a result of his being tired."

Thania Garcia Latin hip-hop found its footing in the bicoastal stomping grounds of the East and West Coasts where Spanglish-speaking communities were influenced and surrounded by urban rap and trap.

Amazon Music wants to showcase Latin rap’s growth and multicultural evolution by interviewing and spotlighting its most influential pioneers for hip-hop’s 50th anniversary with the new “Hip-Hop X Siempre” campaign. With visuals designed by Puerto Rican artist COVL, “Hip-Hop X Siempre” invites audiences to explore the intersection between Spanish language hip-hop with unique programming and editorial content including an Amazon Original by Eladio Carrión, and new playlists like “Hip-Hop x Siempre,” “Sin Filtro,” “pov: ur hyped,” “Puro Trap,” and “Puro Rap.”

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Tucker Carlson announced that he will bring a version of his Fox News show — which he lost after getting fired last month — on Twitter, the social platform owned by Elon Musk. “Starting soon, we’ll be bringing a new version of the show we’ve been doing for the last six and a half years to Twitter,” Carlson said in a video shared Tuesday on the platform. “Free speech is the main right you have. Without it, you have no others.” It’s not immediately clear if Carlson has a deal with Musk to launch the show on Twitter or if he’s doing it independently. Carlson will forgo at least $25 million to break his noncompete clause with Fox News, according to Puck News’ Dylan Byers. Prior to Carlson’s announcement of the forthcoming Twitter show, a lawyer for the former Fox News host sent a letter to the cable network accusing Fox News of “fraud and breach of contract,” Axios reported. That is presumably intended to set the stage for Carlson to claim he’s not bound by a noncompete provision of his contract with Fox News.
