Motorcyclist who lost arm in horror crash takes council to court over manhole cover
Briefly

George Morriss, a 25-year-old motorcyclist, is suing the London Borough of Hillingdon in the High Court after losing his arm in a motorcycle crash. The incident, which occurred in September 2019, was allegedly caused by a manhole cover in poor condition that contributed to his bike sliding out from under him. Although Morriss claims the cover's wear made him lose control, the council refutes his allegations, stating that their inspections have shown no defects before or after the accident. This case raises concerns about road maintenance and accountability for public safety.
