An inquest into the deaths of two riders at the 2025 Oulton Park BSB has heard of their “unsurvivable” injuries.
Two riders, Owen Jenner, 21, and Shane Richardson, 28, tragically lost their lives due to “unsurvivable” injuries at the 2025 Oulton Park BSB, a recent inquest revealed. Jenner suffered head injuries and Richardson chest injuries as a result of the crash, which took place during the opening round of the 2025 BSB season in the first corner of the British Supersport Feature Race at Oulton Park. Post-mortem examinations confirmed that the injuries to both riders were fatal, as reported by the BBC during the inquests held at Chester Coroner’s Court in Warrington. The forensic collision investigator noted that the collisions that led to the riders’ deaths were deemed unavoidable due to the circumstances. Despite the tragedy, it was highlighted that the part of the circuit where the crash occurred was not considered high-risk, according to BSB Series Director Stuart Higgs as reported by Belfast News Letter. While acknowledging the inherent risks of motorcycle racing, the senior coroner for Cheshire, Jacqueline Devonish, concluded that the deaths were accidental and that the race organizers had followed all required procedures appropriately leading up to the tragic incident.
