A builder who died in a high speed car crash had been involved in an ‘altercation’ outside a pub just moments earlier, an inquest has been told.
Joshua Lowe, 26, suffered ‘catastrophic’ injuries after losing control of a Mercedes GLA 200 in Tameside on the evening of December 10 2021. He died at Salford Royal Hospital a few hours later.
An investigation by Greater Manchester Police (GMP) concluded that the car was being followed by another vehicle, although Sergeant Matthew Waggett, of GMP's Serious Collision Investigation Unit told Stockport Coroner’s Court that GMP could not say whether the other car was ‘in pursuit’ or ‘driving in tandem’ with Mr Lowe’s Mercedes due to insufficient evidence.
