flag A 24-year-old man died in a May 2025 UK crash due to low tyre tread, wet conditions, and excessive speed, prompting safety warnings.

flag Sam Gardiner, 24, died in a May 2025 car crash on the A34 near Manchester during heavy rain when his vehicle veered off the road and rolled. flag An inquest found low tyre tread on two tyres—below the legal limit—along with wet conditions and driving too fast for the weather contributed to the accident. flag Though he had recently replaced tyres and used a pressure monitoring system, tread depth was not checked. flag His mother, Jo Gardiner, spoke publicly on BBC Breakfast urging drivers to regularly inspect tyres using the '20p test' to prevent similar tragedies. flag The crash has renewed calls for better tyre safety awareness. flag A fundraising page in Sam’s memory has raised over £28,000 for foetal alcohol effects research.
