Teen who crashed gold BMW into house is named

A car came off the A505 and hit a house in Cromwell Way in Royston

A 19-year-old who died after a gold BMW crashed into a house has been named by a coroner.

Hertfordshire Police was called to Cromwell Way, Royston, at about 01:00 BST on 18 July after reports that a BMW 4 series had come off the A505 and hit a residential property.

The Hertfordshire Coroner Service said there had yet to be a court hearing but the inquest process into the death of Rabi Sheik, 19, from London, had begun.

A toxicology report and a post-mortem examination still had to be carried out with a full inquest not expected to take place for at least another six months.

Emergency services remained at the scene while the vehicle was recovered and a structural engineer assessed the damage to the house

The inquest is yet to be opened.

Hertfordshire Police said there were three males in the car at the time of the crash.

Mr Sheik was pronounced dead after the BMW left the road at a roundabout, and partially demolished the front of the house.

The force said the two other victims remained in hospital and confirmed that one was in a critical condition and the other was in a serious condition.

Officers have issued an appeal for witnesses to and before the crash, and dashcam footage.

They said the people inside the house were not injured and the investigation remained ongoing.
