Families wait for answers on M1 deaths go on after inquest report 'goes into ether'

The inquest into the deaths of two men who died after a serious crash on the M1 has been adjourned as coroner's report 'has gone into ether'. Senior coroner Mairin Casey has apologised to the witnesses who logged via link to hear the conclusion of the inquest on Friday evening, December 16.

She explained that, due to IT issues, her written judgement of the inquest which was held over two days 'has gone into ether'. "I am really disappointed. I am so sorry", she added.

The coroner was due to deliver her findings on Friday, after hearing evidence from witnesses surrounding the deaths of two drivers. Andrew Steer and Harris Gondwe, 38, both died in the crash on January 20 this year. The fatal crash closed the southbound carriageway for most of the day between junction 26 for the A610 (Nottingham / Eastwood) and junction 25 for the A52 Brian Clough Way (Nottingham / Derby).
