    Adrian Fowler was driving up La Pulente hill on the morning of 24 June last year when he crashed into a granite rockface on a hairpin bend

    Witnesses described how they had tried to keep him alive while waiting for an ambulance but he died at the scene.

    The inquest was also told Mr Fowler had a history of paranoid schizophrenia.

    No traces of drugs or alcohol were found in his system and it was impossible to know the state of his mental health at the time.
