Gedney family Paul Carter, Lisa Carter and Jade Mace died due to injuries sustained in A47 crash near King's Lynn, Norfolk inquest hears

A family of three died of multiple injuries following a crash on the A47 last month, an inquest opening has heard.

Paul James Carter, 41, Lisa Jayne Carter, 49, and Jade Channelle Mace, 25, died after a collision at the A47 Constitution Hill in North Runcton - about a quarter of a mile from the Hardwick Roundabout - on January 15.

All three lived at Albert Avenue in Gedney, Lincolnshire, with an inquest into their deaths opened by Norfolk Coroner's Court on Monday.

Proceedings were adjourned, with an official start date yet to be determined. A review is set to take place on July 17 this year.

On that date, either an inquest date will be fixed or, if more information has to be gathered, another review date will be set.

Paul Carter, a builder, died due to multiple injuries sustained in the collision.

The same causes were responsible for Lisa Carter, a hairdresser, and Jade Mace, a youth offending officer, losing their lives.

Aurelijus Cielevicius, of John Street in Lynn, has already appeared at Norwich Magistrates' Court after being charged with three counts of death by dangerous driving in relation to the incident.

Cielevicius was remanded in custody to appear at Norwich Crown Court on February 14.
