AN INQUEST has opened into the death of a young dad after a car crashed into a bakery in Wrexham. 

Ryan Anthony Bagnall, of Berwig Court, Coedpoeth, was pronounced dead at Wrexham Maelor Hospital on the morning of July 17 following the incident. 

At County Hall in Ruthin on Monday (July 24), an inquest was held into the 26-year-old's death. 

John Gittins, senior coroner for North Wales East and Central, said the emergency services were called to the incident at 2.20am on July 17.

The hearing was told that a white Vauxhall Corsa travelling on the A525 Ruthin Road in the direction of Wrexham came off the road and collided with a brick wall and a pillar at the Gerrards bakery. 

Mr Gittins said it is thought Mr Bagnall was driving, and he and a female passenger were trapped inside the vehicle. 

After the emergency services freed Mr Bagnall, he was taken to Wrexham Maelor Hospital. Despite all care and efforts he was pronounced dead later that morning. 

A post-mortem examination carried out following Mr Bagnall's death found he died from thoracic trauma. 

A full inquest has been adjourned pending further investigation.
