Inquest hears that Jeffrey Hain suffered a brain haemorrhage before losing control of his car

An inquest into the deaths of the Hain family from Newhey has concluded that Jeffrey Hain suffered a subarachnoid haemorrhage – a stroke caused by bleeding on the brain whilst driving his car. This led to him losing control of the vehicle and crossing the carriageway and colliding with another vehicle.

66-year-old Mr Hain was traveling with his wife Marion and son Christopher in his silver Kia Ceed in March when the collision occurred on the A47 at East Winch, Norfolk.

All three members of the family were pronounced dead at the scene.

In a narrative conclusion, the coroner concluded that 69-year-old Mrs Hain died of chest injuries due to the road traffic collision and 35-year-old Christopher Hain died of chest and abdominal injuries due to the road traffic collision.

It is unclear from the evidence presented to the inquest whether Mr Hain died from the hemorrhage or injuries sustained as part of the traffic collision.

In a statement read to an inquest in King’s Lynn, Arkadiusz Markowski said he was driving his articulated Scania lorry towards Swaffham when a silver car coming in the opposite direction drove into his lane. As a result of that, all he could do was break and added “the collision was inevitable.”

A minibus carrying students from East Norfolk Sixth Form Centre in Gorleston was travelling behind the car. It is understood that students from the minibus rushed to try and help the family but all three were pronounced dead at the scene.
