THE family of a Barnsley soldier killed in a tragic car smash a year ago say the inquest into his death has finally given them closure.
Rifleman Dale Harris, 24, died along with his friend Lance Corporal David Gwilt on a fishing trip when their car failed to stop at a junction in County Antrim and ploughed into a tractor driving on a main road, Belfast Coroner's Court was told.
Dale's wife Carly and his mum Pam Robinson, from Worsbrough Bridge, were at the inquest and heard a police sergeant say the rural road where the accident happened had a 'collision history'.
He added there was another side road directly opposite the road the soldiers travelled on - giving the impression of one continuing road.
