A young woman from Heanor who was killed when she became trapped underneath a substantial rockfall at a coastal beauty spot was '10ft from safety', an inquest has heard.
Charlotte Blackman, 22, was strolling along Freshwater Beach in Dorset with her family when around 400 tonnes of rock from the Jurassic Coastline cliffs crashed down on top of her, killing her almost instantly.
Her boyfriend, Matthew Carnell, was walking alongside Miss Blackman, from Derbyshire, on July 24 when he noticed the start of the landslide.
Miss Blackman's father, Kevin, desperately screamed for the group to get to safety but his daughter was crushed.
The inquest at Dorchester County Hall today heard that she died accidentally, as the result of an 'act of nature'.
