A dad-of-two died after losing control of his moped and crashing into a kerb, an inquest has heard. Thomas Nicholson, 32, had spent the day drinking at a friend's christening and was three times over the drink drive limit, the hearing was told.
In a documentary inquest at Rochdale Coroner's Court, coroner Matthew Cox read a statement by Mr Nicholson's partner of five years, Colleen De Nysschen.
