Two teenagers dead after car reached speeds of 127mph before crash

Two teenagers sadly died after a car was driven at “incredibly fast” speeds, an inquest was told. Harvey Holehouse, 19, and Jake Hankins, 17, died as a result of a two vehicle collision on September 22, 2022.

The inquest into the deaths of the two teenagers concluded on Tuesday, June 20 at Nottingham Coroners Court. Coroner Jonathan Straw stated at the start of proceedings that the inquest was looking at “the collision leading not just to the two deaths of both Harvey and Jake, but also physical mental lifelong injuries to Olivia, to Sam and to Dominic.”

The court heard Harvey was driving Jake, Sam and Dominic back from the Magna Charta pub in Lowdham, during which he drove his Mercedes reaching a top speed of 127mph on Southwell Road, near Gonalston.
