Posted by A former police officer has been charged with the manslaughter of four paddle boarders who drowned after getting caught up in a flooded weir.
Nerys Lloyd, 39, was in charge of the ill-fated expedition, believed to be Britain’s worst-ever paddle boarding accident.
Police have charged her with four counts of gross negligence manslaughter and one Health and Safety offence. Morgan Rogers, 24, Nicola Wheatley, 40, Andrea Powell, 41, and instructor Paul O’Dwyer, 42, died in the accident on October 30 2021.
The four were trapped by ‘hydraulic towback with no means of escape,’ at a dangerous weir in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, according to a Marine Accidents Investigation Board report.
