EXCESSIVE speed and alcohol were contributing factors to the death of a Cambridge man who died on the A14 at Ellington last year, an inquest heard.
Care worker Roland Gamsi, 35, died in the early hours of October 1 when he crashed his Rover car into a ditch, Cambridge Coroner's Court was told last week.
Mr Gamsi, who was originally from the Cameroon, was returning home from a party in Leicester when he attempted an overtaking manoeuvre.
