Inquests have been opened into the deaths of two drivers involved in a collision on a rural road near Wisbech St Mary last month.  

The incident involved a grey BMW 530 and a white Kia Cee’d and happened on the afternoon of July 19 at Tholomas Drove.  

The BMW driver Shane Jones, 28, of Station Avenue, Murrow, died at the scene.  

A passenger in his vehicle was taken to hospital with serious injuries and was later discharged. 

The Kia driver Andree Johnson, 62, of Church Road, Wisbech St Mary, died at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge three days after the collision on July 22.  

Brief hearings to open both inquests were held yesterday (Thursday) at Peterborough Town Hall. 

David Heming, senior coroner for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, explained the matters will require input from the Collisions Investigation Unit at Cambridgeshire Police.  

He then adjourned both inquests and offered his condolences to the families of Mr Jones and Mr Johnson.  

Police are appealing for witnesses to the collision and would also like to hear from anyone who saw the vehicles leading up to it.  

They also want to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time with dash cam footage.  

This can be reported online via the force website or call 101, quoting incident 379 of July 19.
