AN INQUEST has opened into the death of a pedestrian who was involved in a fatal crash with a fuel tanker on the A338 Spur Road.
Balint Cseh, a married bus driver who lived in Boscombe, was pronounced dead at the scene of the collision on the morning of Sunday, July 25.
Assistant coroner for Dorset Brendan Allen opened the inquest into the 33-year-old's death at Bournemouth Town Hall on Tuesday, August 3.
Coroner's officer Ken McEwan told the hearing: "The brief circumstances are that at approximately 6.20am on Sunday, July 25, on the A338 northbound between Blackwater junction and Ashley Heath roundabout, a petrol tanker had been travelling northbound along the road in lane one when it struck a male pedestrian in the carriageway.
"The male, Balint Cseh, died from injuries at the scene. A police investigation has been started into the circumstances of the collision."
No further details about the incident were provided during the short hearing.
The coroner was told a post-mortem examination had been carried out on July 29 and the cause of death had been provided as multiple injuries due to a road traffic collision.
Mr Allen adjourned the inquest until December 8 and requested various statements, including from Mr Cseh's family, his GP and police in relation to their investigation.
