Dad with 'heart of gold' killed in horror crash was 'intoxicated' and likely speeding, inquest hears

A much-loved dad with a 'heart of gold' killed when his car came off the road and hit a wall was 'profoundly intoxicated' and likely driving at 'high speed' an inquest into his death has heard.

Father-of-four Benjamin Harvey, 37, died after losing control of his silver Audi A3 Sport and crashing on a bend on the A560 Brinksway, close to the Pyramid on the outskirts of Stockport town centre in June this year.

Paramedics raced to the scene following the crash shortly after 1:30am but scrap dealer Mr Harvey, from Bredbury, could not be saved.
