Mum on cocaine killed herself and her toddler son, 1, when she crashed into a school bus, rules inquest
A MUM on cocaine killed herself and her toddler son when she crashed into a school bus, an inquest has ruled. Sian Goffin, 31, and one-year-old Jago Bawden died in hospital following the tragedy on October 14 last year. One child on the bus was seriously hurt and 27 sustained minor injuries, an inquest heard. Cleaner Ms Goffin was at the wheel of her silver Vauxhall Astra when it hit the double-decker on the B3296 in Mullion, Cornwall. Emergency services took Ms Goffin and Jago to hospital. She died from her injuries later that day, and Jago succumbed to a traumatic brain injury on October 17. In a written ruling, Guy Davies, assistant coroner for Cornwall and Isles of Scilly, attributed the crash to drug use and put Jago's death down to driver error. He ruled said that Ms Goffin, of Mullion, Cornwall, 'lost control of her car while under the influence of a controlled drug, namely cocaine'. 1

Woman and two men killed in sea mine explosions at beaches in Ukraine 'after bombs washed into shore'
Three people have been killed in a double explosion after sea mines washed up onto tourist beaches in Ukraine. A woman and two men lost their lives when the blasts ripped through the Black Sea resort area of Zatoka at around 11.30am today. The explosions sent shockwaves through crowds of holidaymakers at the resort in southern Ukraine. The three victims were reportedly swimming when two explosive devices went off around 50 metres from the shore. Odesa regional chief Oleh Kiper said: 'All of them have been killed by explosive devices while swimming in areas prohibited for recreation.' Police said a man and woman were killed in Zatoka, while another man died in Karolino-Buhaz. Dramatic footage taken from the scene shows a huge group of terrified sunseekers gathered on the sand in the aftermath of the blasts. Bomb dispersal experts and investigators are now reported to be searching the shoreline for more devices. Meanwhile, authorities launched a criminal case under Article 115 of the country's penal code, marking the incident as an 'accident' waiting for further findings. The explosions happened at 11.30am (9.30am BST) on Sunday between Karolino-Buhaz and Zatoka, witnesses told local outlet Dumskaya. 'This once again proves that being in unchecked waters is fatally dangerous,' the regional governor confirmed. Police said they are yet to confirm the identity of the swimmers, warning visitors 'not to neglect safety measures'. 'It has been previously determined that three vacationers - a woman and two men - died while swimming as a result of two explosions of unknown objects. The identities of the deceased are being established,' the police said. Thirty two areas are safe for swimming, with 30 of these located in Odesa, authorities said.
