Shane Vickers and Philip Madden died after the Vauxhall Corsa being driven by Mr Madden hit a tree on the A495 at Bronington, near Ellesmere, before bursting into flames in 2014.

Mr Vickers, 22, a self-employed carpenter from Bettisfield, was pronounced dead at the scene while Mr Madden, 19, an apprentice electrician, of Northwood, near Wem, was taken to the Maelor Hospital in Wrexham but died shortly afterwards.

The inquest will take place on Wednesday at the Coroner's Court in County Hall, Ruthin, from 10am.

The pair were driving to Penley when the crash happened just before 11pm on October 30.
