Mum and son found seven hours after car crashed upside down into pond

A mum and her young son died after their car left a country road, plunged into a pond and flipped upside down trapping them both, an inquest heard today. The bodies of Milan Peter Radocz and his mum Vivien Radocz, 28, were not found and recovered from the wreckage until seven hours after the crash. An inquest heard both tragically lost their lives whilst driving to a film on the morning of Sept 3 last year.

Neither of the pair managed to escape from the car which was found upside down underwater the same evening. The inquests into both of their deaths heard today that Vivien "failed to negotiate a sharp left-hand bend" and came off a minor road near Wittering, Cambs. Coroner Simon Milburn, hearing evidence, said: "I would like to pass on my condolences for the family's loss.

"It is difficult to imagine the extent of their grief of the loss of such a young child."
