It is thought he may have nodded off as his Citroen veered across the A30 in Cornwall and into the path of a lorry.

Marianne, of Tintagel, and Damien, from ­Camelford, died at the scene between Carland Cross and Chiverton.

A cop told a Truro inquest it was possible Damien fell asleep at the wheel after a long night at the hospital.

Verdict: Road traffic collision.
