A driver and his passenger died following a 98mph crash in a tunnel, an inquest heard.
Callum Miller, 27, from Stockport, suffered fatal injuries when his Audi S3 crashed head on with a taxi inside Queensway Tunnel under the River Mersey in Liverpool just after midnight on October 17 last year.
His passenger Paige Rice, a 22-year-old nail technician from Birmingham, also died in the crash.
Mr Miller struck two other vehicles before he 'lost control' of the Audi S3 and collided with a cab at 98mph in the 30mph tunnel, the inquest at Gerard Majella Court in Liverpool was told today.

The taxi driver was seriously injured and spent weeks in hospital before he was eventually discharged. He has suffered life-changing injuries, including those to his right leg and hip, the Liverpool Echo reported.
Forensic collision analysis, which examined CCTV footage, revealed the speed Mr Miller had been travelling as the cars collided at 12.25am.
Initially a criminal investigation was launched, with detectives looking at pursuing death by dangerous driving charges.
However, due to the 'condition of those involved, that couldn't be progressed', the inquest heard.
Mr Miller, who was from Stockport, died from a traumatic brain injury the day after Paige, on October 18.
Recalling the facts of the fatal crash, Coroner André Rebello, told the inquest: "The vehicle [Audi] entered the Queensway tunnel.
"It was travelling for a short distance off side. It lost control and went even further to the off side and collided head on with the blue coloured taxi.
"Both vehicles suffered heavy damage with the force impact and the taxi travelled backwards some
