Inquests open into fatal A61 crash at South Stainley
Inquests into the deaths of two of the three people killed in a crash on the A61 at South Stainley opened today.
Daria Bartienieva, 35, and her son Ihor Bartienieva, 6, died after a three-vehicle collision that involved a double decker bus on Ripon Road on September 3.
Daria’s step-daughter, Anastasiia Bartienieva, 15, was also killed as a result of the collision.
All three were from Ukraine and living in Ripon.
Jon Heath, senior coroner for North Yorkshire, opened the inquests into Daria and Ihor at a hearing in Northallerton this morning.
Mr Heath said both were killed as a result of a road traffic collision. The provisional cause of death was given as “multiple injuries” due to blunt force trauma.
The hearing was adjourned for a full inquest at a later date.
Holy Trinity School paid tribute to former pupil Ihor after the collision.
A fundraiser set up for 15-year-old Liza Bartienieva, who was orphaned following the incident, raised £48,000.
