Inquest for QPR's teenage forward, Ray Jones, who was killed in a car crash last August.
Mirror - STAR'S 'DEATH DRIVE' 10/04/2008
A football star would be facing death by dangerous driving charges had he not been killed in a triple-death crash, an inquest heard.
Promising QPR striker Ray Jones, 19, sped over a pedestrian crossing on the wrong side and hit a double-decker bus head-on.
The player - said to have had the "world at his feet" - died with two passengers, Jess Basilua and Idris Olasupo, both 17, in East London, 23 days after passing his test.
Coroner Dr Elizabeth Stearns said his driving that night in East Ham fell "far below" expected standards.
She recorded a verdict of accidental death on Jones at the Walthamstow inquest but ruled the passengers were unlawfully killed. Mirror
