A young driver was killed after losing control of his car which smashed into another vehicle during snow and icy conditions, an inquest has heard. Syed Ahmed Shah, aged 20, crashed into another driver as he travelled to work along Eastcote Lane, Hampton-in-Arden, just before 9am on January 13.
Birmingham Coroners Court heard it was snowing and Mr Shah, who had only passed his test 18 months previously, had never driven in icy conditions before. Mr Shah’s father had warned him to be careful and go slowly and he had promised him he would, the inquest heard.
