A date has been set for a full inquest into the death of a teenager in a crash after reportedly failing to stop for police.
Devonte Scott, 18, was driving a Ford Fiesta which hit two cars in Stretford on May 16 last year.
A coroner is set to examine the full circumstances surrounding Mr Scott's death in August.
Chris Morris, Area Coroner for Greater Manchester South, provisionally listed a five-day inquest for August 8 and said 'consideration' of a jury would be deferred to a later date.

Mr Morris made a series of legal directions at a brief pre-inquest review hearing held at Stockport Coroner's Court today.
A further pre-inquest review hearing has been listed for June 1.
Police, firefighters and paramedics attended the scene at Urmston Lane's junction with Barton Road in Stretford at around 2pm.
Mr Scott was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
The Manchester Evening News has already reported police watchdog the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) launched an 'extensive' investigation into the crash.
At a pre-inquest review hearing held last August, representatives for the IOPC said officers were 'some 20-plus seconds' behind Mr Scott at the time and confirmed it was a 'failure to stop'.
At Wednesday's hearing, Mr Morris said he now had a final IOPC report and directed the watchdog to confirm to him how it would be shared with Mr Scott's family, who were present in court.
A report by Greater Manchester Police's serious collision investigation unit has also been completed and received by the coroner, the hearing was told.
Those reports, together with witness accounts, dash-cam footage and body-worn camera footage, are expected to be considered for assessment at the full inquest.
Further legal submissions are expected to be made at the June 1 hearing.
At the time, GMP said officers attempted to stop the Fiesta Ford Fiesta being on Urmston Lane but it made off in the opposite direction.
The force said the police vehicle turned around and shortly afterwards, found the Fiesta had been in a collision with two other cars.
A woman in one of the other cars involved was taken to hospital with injuries described at the time as not believed to be serious.
Friends of Mr Scott paid tribute to him after his death.
One said: "He was an amazing lad who lit up a room with humour and his smile.
"He was loved by many people and we will all miss him dearly. He was always so funny and kind and never failed to make me laugh."
Another added: "He had an absolute heart of gold and was a beautiful young man.
"His life had only just started and he had a lot of positive energy to give. He was caring and would help anybody."
