James Cox, 46 and Riki Boughen, 43, died after their Ford Transit van was involved in a head-on collision with a coach. Both were from the Wisbech area.

Inquests into both men's deaths will be opened by Norfolk coroner Jacqueline Lake at the coroner's court in Norwich tomorrow morning.

Police are still investigating the cause of the crash and the hearing is likely to be adjourned until their inquiries are complete, before a full inquest is heard.

The accident happened on an unlit single-carriageway stretch of the road at Constitution Hill, around a mile east of the Hardwick Roundabout on Wednesday, January 17.

Police said a passenger travelling in the van was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, which happened around 5.20pm.

The driver was taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, in King's Lynn, where he later died.

The driver of the coach and a number of passengers on board were taken to hospital to be treated for bruises.

Anyone who witnessed the collision should contact the serious collision investigation team at Wymondham on 101.
