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'.

It was seen yesterday north of front line city Donetsk, where fierce fighting between President Volodymyr Zelensky's Ukrainian military and invading Russian troops continues. It is now almost completely deserted, with most residents fleeing the onslaught from Vladimir Putin's war machine. Meanwhile, a giant paint plant in Yaroslavl, Russia — making special coatings for protection of military equipment — was pictured engulfed in flames yesterday following an attack by Ukraine. Russia has also been bulking up its vehicles with the protective add-ons, so much so in some cases that it is impossible to tell what the vehicle even is. Last month, combat footage showed what observers identified as a Russian tank shielded by a large cage, significant amounts of netting, and some other material. President Trump floated the idea of a territorial exchange as part of a potential deal, a proposal Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has firmly rejected. He said: "There is nothing to talk about. This violates our Constitution. "This is our territory, the territory of the people of Ukraine." 5 A paint plant in Yaroslavl, Russia - making special coatings for protection of military equipment - pictured engulfed in flames Credit: East2West 5 President Trump has floated the idea of a territorial exchange as part of a potential deal, a proposal President Zelensky has rejected Credit: Getty

Moment ‘road rage' erupts into vicious brawl with driver chased down, tackled & kicked after putting woman in headlock
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the shocking moment a "road rage" row erupted into a violent street brawl in London. Footage posted online shows a man being chased, tackled and kicked after putting a woman in a headlock. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 The moment the driver (in a pink T-shirt) is seen putting a woman in headlock 4 A woman appears to be attempting to strike the driver with a metal object Credit: X/@CrimeLDN 4 The man trips as he chases the driver Credit: X/@CrimeLDN The video was shared by X user @CrimeLdn with the caption: 'Road rage in Edgware Road yesterday evening.' It shows a driver in a pink T-shirt clashing with three women after stopping his car in the middle of the road. The furious man is seen stepping out and squaring up to the group, as passing cars honk and traffic builds behind him. A heated row quickly turns physical, with one woman appearing to point a metal object at his face as he grabs for it. The woman holding the object is heard angrily shouting: "That's my mum, that's my mum... I'm gonna kill you." Moments later, the pink-shirted driver is seen scrambling back into his vehicle - only to jump out again as the women appear to be blocking him from closing the car door. He seems to be wrestling one of the women, placing her in a headlock before pushing her away. The man then bolts off onto the opposite street - only to be chased down by a man - who appears to be a member of the group - who dramatically trips and falls mid-chase before regaining his footing. Footage then shows the driver being wrestled to the ground by the man. Kicks are thrown by one of the three women as the brawl rages on. Huge brawl erupts in Championship as Coventry and Hull players and Oli McBurnie grabs rival's neck Three passersby are seen trying to pull the man off the driver in an attempt to break up the fight. It's not yet clear what sparked the violent confrontation or whether police are investigating. The Sun has contacted the Met for further information. It comes as a road rage row erupted after a motorist denied hitting a car in an alleged crash. The other driver insisted there was matching scratches on both cars in a heated confrontation. The incident took place on a residential road in the seaside town of Worthing, West Sussex on Friday. Footage shows the driver of a grey Nissan denying he was involved in an accident.
