A “BEAUTIFUL boy” died in a motorcycle crash during the Jersey Motorcycle and Light Car Club sprint on the Five Mile Road just weeks before he was due to buy a house with his fiancée, an inquest has heard.
Family members paid tribute yesterday to Mohammed Kieran Le Bail, who went by Kieran, with the 23-year-old described as “passionate” about motorsports.
Coroner Cyril Whelan added that it was “great” to see Jersey Customs and Immigration Service, who Kieran had worked for since 2019, represented at the inquest into his death.
The inquest heard that conditions were good on 24 June last year and that there was nothing wrong with his motorcycle.
Race radio controller James Ollivro described seeing Kieran’s bike hit a small pavement, come off the road and hit a pole.
The inquest heard that Kieran received medical care, first from a registered nurse who was also a club helper and then in the ambulance and at the Hospital, where he had emergency surgery.
Attempts to resuscitate Kieran were unsuccessful and he died later that evening. The cause of death was traumatic brain and cervical spine injuries, along with multiple traumatic injuries, Advocate Whelan said.
Advocate Whelan extended his condolences to Kieran’s family and friends.
Witness Mark Schollhammer said he thought the event was well organised with enough marshals and officials.
Kieran’s fiancée, Ashyanna Ball, said the couple had been just weeks away from buying a house. She now races in his memory and is passionate about motorsports herself.
Kieran’s mother, Anita Le Bail, called him “a beautiful boy” who was intelligent and had achieved a lot in his 23 years.
“He achieved so much in such a short time and he touched so many people’s hearts,” she said.
“He was always helping people. If anyone needed anything, he was always there.
She said she was “so grateful to have him as my son”.
“He loved his motorsports. He was good at what he did and he took pride in what he did.
“We will just forever miss him.”
