Claire Lomas: Tragic Accident in Flight | Leicester News

Claire Lomas, the inspirational disability campaigner paralyzed from the chest down after a horse-riding accident, tragically died five weeks after a microlight crash in Jordan — officially ruled an accident. Flying for an Apple Vision Pro project, she aborted a landing due to misalignment, but the plane veered off course and struck a rock. Despite her remarkable achievements — including completing the London Marathon in a bionic suit and receiving an MBE — Claire had obtained her microlight license and adapted her aircraft for flight. Authorities found no safety violations or camera-related cause. Her family now mourns the loss of a beloved advocate, even as the inquest closes.
