The family of a Nottinghamshire grandad who died after driving into a house with two passengers in his car say he was someone who 'would not put people at risk'. An inquest which took place examining the circumstances of the death of 67-year-old Robert Crowder found that Mr Crowder died as a result of injuries sustained during a road traffic collision.
The incident took place on August 19 last year in South Avenue, Rainworth, where emergency services were called at around 11.10am. Mr Crowder had been driving back home from taking a friend shopping when his car went into the front of a house.
His friend and neighbour Diane, who he had taken shopping, was the rear-seat passenger of the vehicle, whilst Mr Crowder's granddaughter was in the front. His granddaughter suffered minor injuries but his friend was taken to hospital with serious injuries, which were not believed to be life-threatening.
