A BBC actor was killed in a crash after a speeding driver "lost control" and crashed into a tree, an inquest heard. Reiss Jarvis suffered multiple "unsurvivable" injuries as a result of the smash in Delph, Oldham.
The 21-year-old was a front-seat passenger in a Mazda 3 when it careered off the country road and hit a tree before plunging down an embankment. Reiss was pronounced dead at the scene while the driver, Karl Young, was taken to hospital where he later died.
Mr Young, 34, lost control of the vehicle while travelling at "excessive speed" along a remote and unlit stretch of road at about 8.40pm, an inquest at Rochdale Coroner’s Court heard today. The pair were returning to Oldham after visiting a fish shop in Marsden, West Yorkshire, on November 10 of last year.
