THE inquest into the death of a young man killed in a crash in Keighley has been opened.

Conor Mitchell, 26, from Skipton, was driving a silver Ford Focus along Skipton Road, Utley, towards Steeton, when it left the road and struck a wall at around 1.25am on February 20.

He was taken to Leeds General Infirmary, but died later in the day.

A full inquest hearing will be scheduled for a later date.

Tributes flooded in paying tribute to Mr Mitchell after the sad news broke.
