A drink and drug-fuelled driver and one of his passengers died in a road traffic collision after being pursued by police and travelling at up to 102mph on a 30mph road, an inquest has heard.
Connor Davison, 25, was under the influence of cocaine and alcohol while driving a stolen VW Golf in Newcastle. Steven McGlasson was a front seat passenger and Andrew Peter Milburn, 28, was in the back of the vehicle.
Mr Davison, who lived in Hartlepool, and Mr Milburn, from Ryton, Gateshead, died after the car collided with a Honda, which was being driven by Julia Waddell, on Barrack Road. The crash occurred just before 9am on July 25 last year.
