A man died after being struck by a car just yards from his husband while they were walking their dog on Christmas Eve, an inquest has heard.
American Joshua Hellon was hit by the BMW as he stepped from between two parked vehicles on Rochdale Road in Middleton, Greater Manchester.
During an inquest into his death at Rochdale Coroner's Court on Wednesday, coroner Michael Salt read out a statement from the 30-year-old's husband, Andrew Hellon.
