Driver died en route to extra shift because they didn't want to disappoint anyone.

The community mourned the loss of Marc Thomas, a man who was described as a "much-loved" dad, brother, grandad, and father. He was a beloved grandfather who tragically passed away in a car accident on his way to work. It was revealed during the inquest that he had taken on an extra shift at Asda as a delivery driver, not wanting to disappoint anyone.

The accident happened on September 9 while Marc was driving his Ford Fiesta on the B6286. It was early in the morning, around 8 am, when his car veered off the road and came to a stop in a bush. Sadly, he did not survive the collision, with witnesses stating that his car was swerving and appeared to be out of control.

According to his daughter Rebecca, Marc had received a phone call that morning asking if he could work an extra shift. He had recently started the job and was proud of it, so he agreed without hesitation. Rebecca shared that her father was a kind and selfless man who didn't want to let anyone down.

After hearing all the evidence, Assistant Coroner Dr Leslie Hamilton concluded that Marc's car had been traveling at a high speed when it crested over a hill and entered a right-hand bend. He lost control of the vehicle, causing it to rotate and ultimately resulted in the fatal collision. The court also noted that the road conditions may have contributed to the accident.

Rebecca fondly remembered her father as someone who was loved and cherished by many, near and far. He enjoyed spending time with his family and playing PlayStation in his free time. She shared that he had a positive outlook on life and always made sure to spend time with his loved ones, especially his grandparents.

Despite the chaos in his life, Marc had a great sense of humor and could make light of any situation. He was able to make people smile and leave a lasting impression on those he met. His family will always remember him as a much-loved husband, father, son, brother, and grandad. Marc's passing has left a void in their lives, but they will forever cherish the memories they shared with him.
