TWO men killed in Dorset road crashes last week have been named as inquests open into their deaths.

Kieron Marc Pittick, 36, of Schelin Way, Shillingstone, Blandford suffered multiple injuries when his Suzuki motorbike collided with a tractor on the A357 in Stalbridge on Friday afternoon.

A Bournemouth inquest heard he was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash and the hearing was adjourned until February next year.

Peter John Dennett, 49, from Shepton Mallett in Somerset was the driver of a Ford Transit van which collided with a Ford Ranger pick-up truck in Ringwood Road, near Three Legged Cross, just after 2am on Saturday.

A post mortem examination was carried out but the cause of death is currently undetermined, pending the results of toxicology tests.

The inquest into his death was also adjourned until February.
