Overview

  • At the opening hearing, the coroner heard that a parked car rolled back and pinned Skinner against a wall outside Buckinghamshire New University accommodation.
  • Skinner managed to call 999 while trapped and emergency crews arrived within minutes, including a Thames Valley Air Ambulance paramedic in a critical care car.
  • She was taken to hospital and died days later on January 8.
  • Buckinghamshire New University will award her a posthumous BSc with honours in social work.
  • More than 200 people attended her funeral in Faversham, and a GoFundMe is raising funds for the air ambulance team in her name.
