An inquest will be held today into the deaths of three people killed in a coach crash as they were travelling home from a music festival.
They were on the 52-seater vehicle heading back to Merseyside from Bestival on the Isle of Wight when it left the carriageway of the A3 near Hindhead, Surrey, and hit an oak tree last September.
Kerry Ogden, 23, of Maghull, Liverpool, died with another passenger, musician Michael Molloy, 18, from Woolton, Liverpool, and the coach driver, 63-year-old Colin Daulby, from Warrington.
Police said the road conditions and the weather were not thought to be a factor in the crash and the 16-year-old coach had only been on the road for around an hour after leaving Portsmouth.
The hearing at Woking Civic Offices is scheduled to last for two days.
