Nottinghamshire police said Mr Abbey, aged 51, from the Leeds area, died at the scene after a collision involving two vans.

The road was closed in both directions for most of the day whilst emergency services attended. Another driver was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

A provisional cause of death was given as "neck injury" when an inquest was formally opened on September 15.

Further inquiries need to be made and the final hearing is on a date to be fixed.
