Two friends died in crash after spending all night at hospital for arrival of new baby

TWO friends died in a crash after spending all night at a hospital for the arrival of a new baby.

Damien Gregory, 38, was driving Marianne Parker, 44, home after her daughter had given birth.

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.
