Mum on cocaine killed herself and her toddler son, 1, when she crashed into a school bus, rules inquest

A MUM on cocaine killed herself and her toddler son when she crashed into a school bus, an inquest has ruled.

Sian Goffin, 31, and one-year-old Jago Bawden died in hospital following the tragedy on October 14 last year.

One child on the bus was seriously hurt and 27 sustained minor injuries, an inquest heard.

Cleaner Ms Goffin was at the wheel of her silver Vauxhall Astra when it hit the double-decker on the B3296 in Mullion, Cornwall.

Emergency services took Ms Goffin and Jago to hospital.

She died from her injuries later that day, and Jago succumbed to a traumatic brain injury on October 17.

In a written ruling, Guy Davies, assistant coroner for Cornwall and Isles of Scilly, attributed the crash to drug use and put Jago’s death down to driver error.

He ruled said that Ms Goffin, of Mullion, Cornwall, “lost control of her car while under the influence of a controlled drug, namely cocaine”.
