Ten other people also suffered minor injuries from the crash, which happened between Junction 5 Stokenchurch and Junction 4 Handy Cross, High Wycombe.

During the hearing, Senior Coroner Crispin Giles Butler confirmed the road traffic incident is a "subject of an ongoing police investigation," but that the police had made no homicide charges. "I'm not aware of any homicide charges and no request to postpone the inquest," he said.

The hearing was adjourned after Mr Butler announced a further brief review hearing in three months' time and depending on any criminal charges by Thames Valley Police.
