A multiple-car collision that led to the deaths of two men has been described as 'unusual'. The grieving family of Andrew Steer, 52, heard how the man's vehicle collided with the rear of an articulated lorry - four and a half seconds before a second driver collided into his car.
Mr Steer and Harris Gondwe, 38, both died in the crash on January 20 this year. The fatal crash closed the southbound carriageway for most of the day between junction 26 for the A610 (Nottingham / Eastwood) and junction 25 for the A52 Brian Clough Way (Nottingham / Derby).
The circumstances surrounding their fatal crash were discussed during an inquest at Nottingham Council House on December 7, 2022. PC Stephen Farrell, a forensic investigation officer, has given his account of the incident, telling the court Mr Gondwe collided with Mr Steer's vehicle 'four and a half' seconds after the first collision.
