A motorcycle rider died after a “head-on collision” with a Love Island star’s car, an inquest has heard. Thomas Griggs, 28, is said to have suffered multiple injuries and blunt force trauma in the crash involving a Mercedes used by 26-year-old Kem Cetinay, the 2017 winner of the reality TV show.
The inquest into his death was opened by senior coroner Graeme Irvine at East London Coroner’s Court on Friday. Mr Irvine said the court had not been given details of the driver of the other vehicle and that a suspect had been identified in the police investigation into the incident.
The crash is said to have taken place at 11.27am on August 4 and Mr Griggs died at 12.04pm the same day, the court heard. A post-mortem examination found the cause of death to be multiple injuries and blunt force trauma, the coroner said.
