The inquests into the death of a pedestrian and a motorcyclist who were both involved in a serious crash have been opened. Jeanette Lord, 56, and Conleth Grant, 57, both died following a crash which took place on the A52 bypass near Ashbourne between the Derby Road and Clifton Road roundabouts on Saturday, March 26.
Ms Lord, of Duncan Drive, Ashbourne, had been walking her dog, Bramble when the crash occurred. Police said both Ms Lord and her dog were pronounced dead at the scene. Mr Grant, who lived in Nottinghamshire, passed away after being taken to hospital, Derbyshire Live reports.
At the short inquest hearing at Derby Coroner's Court, Assistant Coroner Louise Pinder confirmed that a postmortem examination had been carried out but a medical cause of death was not able to be confirmed due to the pathologist awaiting test results. It was confirmed that Ms Lord, a teaching assistant originally born in Leicestershire, was formally identified by her partner, Damien Banks.
