Victims of Bestival crash named

By Emma Philo Wed, 12 September 2012 3:37PM

Two victims of a coach that crashed on its way back from Bestival on the Isle of Wight have been formally identified.

The driver who died on the A3 in Surrey late on Monday has been named as Colin Daulby, who was 63 and from Warrington.

An 18-year-old passenger who also died has been named as Michael Molloy from Woolton in South Liverpool.

A third victim has yet to be named.

Meanwhile, David Hannell, owner of the coach company involved, Merseypride Travel, told Sky News that a scenario in which driver 63-year-old Colin Daulby suddenly collapsed at the wheel was the "only way we can assess what happened".

He added: "(A heart attack) is the only thing we can think of. We don't think he fell asleep because he had only just started off."
