The scene of the fatal accident last week
AN inquest has been opened into the death of an elderly man who was crushed by his own car near Worcester.
Donald Taylor, aged 93, of Malvern Road, Powick, was found trapped underneath his parked red Vauxhall Astra on October 2 at the junction of Old Malvern Road and The Drive, in the village.
As previously reported, passers-by rushed to his aid by lifting the car off him and calling the emergency services.
He was taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, in Birmingham, by air ambulance and had emergency surgery for crush injuries, but he died overnight.
An inquest was opened and adjourned today.
