A 58-YEAR-OLD father-of-two who died after his motorbike crashed into the back of a car had no alcohol or drugs in his blood stream, an inquest opening has revealed.
David Bacon of Hucknall died on Sunday June 16 at around 2.50pm after he crashed on the A611 on the Hucknall-bound side close to the exit for Newstead.
An inquest into his death opened today and the court heard that the cause of death was recorded as multiple injury.
Coroner for Notts, Mairin Casey, said that the post mortem examination had also revealed that he had torn one of the main pulmonary arteries close to the heart.
The car his blue Yamaha motorbike crashed into was a silver Kia Venga.
Mr Bacon was a self-employed coffee machine engineer, who loved motorcycles and model flying in his spare time. He was a member of Goosedale Model Flying Club, based in Goosedale Lane, Bestwood Village.
Last week his distraught wife Carolyne, 51, paid tribute to her husband.
She said: "We are very shocked and he will be missed. We've had a lot of support from friends.
"He just enjoyed life – he was out on his bike and had been to a show. He was coming home when it happened.
"He was a good honest man who did not deserve this."
Notts Police are still investigating the incident, but no arrests have been made.
Mr Bacon's inquest will be concluded at a later date.
