A 28-year-old man died after he was 'ejected' from the back of a vehicle in Bradwell, an inquest heard.
Scott Baisley, from St Olaves, near Great Yarmouth, suffered a serious head injury following the accident on June 22 this year.
The service support manager was rushed to Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge for treatment, but died four days later on June 26.
At the opening of his inquest in Norwich on Tuesday, assistant coroner Johanna Thompson said Mr Baisley had been offered a lift by friends as they drove past.
