An inquest heard how the man’s car crashed ‘through trees and bushes’ before his death
A man whose car left the road and crashed into a verge was left with “fatal injuries”, an inquest has heard. Emergency services were called to a single-vehicle crash on the A10 near Littleport in the early hours of May 17.
A blue Vauxhall Corsa had left the road and crashed into a verge. The driver, named as Jacob Hawden, 33, from Chatteris, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The inquest into Jacob’s death was opened today (Thursday, August 6) at Vantage House in Huntingdon, and it was heard by Coroner Caroline Jones. The court heard how Jacob was travelling on the A10 from Littleport towards Ely on May 17.
During his journey, his vehicle “left the carriageway to the nearside and went down the verge”. His vehicle then “went through some trees and bushes” which “struck the front passenger door” and left Jacob with “fatal injuries”.
His post-mortem confirmed he died of “multiple traumatic injuries due to a road traffic collision”. His inquest will be held by Coroner Elizabeth Gray on December 1 at Vantage House. After his death, Jacob’s family paid tribute to him.
He was described as a “very charismatic” person. His family added: “Jacob was a loving son, grandson, brother, uncle, nephew and cousin. He was loved by many and will be sadly missed by all that knew him.
“Jacob was a very unique man and always loved to make people laugh, this was one of his special powers. He was a very charismatic, funny and also musically talented person. He will always be loved and in our thoughts every day.”
