A coroner is to examine the death of a grandad who died after he drove into a house in a Nottinghamshire village. Robert Spencer Crowder, then aged 67, was pronounced dead at the scene following the incident in South Avenue, Rainworth, on August 19 last year.
Emergency services were called out at around 11.10am to reports of a serious collision. Mr Crowder's granddaughter and friend were also in the vehicle during the crash, police said previously.
His granddaughter suffered minor injuries but his friend was taken to hospital with serious injuries, which were not believed to be life-threatening. No further injuries were reported. Two other parked cars also suffered damage during the incident. Extensive structural damage was caused to the house which was unoccupied at the time
