An inquest heard today Sam died from a "devastating brain injury" following the May 26 horror.
The court was told he hit a kerb on the central reservation of the A34 in Stockport before crashing into a tree.
Sam was rushed to hospitl but sadly could not be saved and was declared dead three days later.
Assistant coroner Christopher Murray adjourned the hearing for a full inquest to be held on October 13.
Broadcast in March 2020, Sam and Jo ventured across Mexico and Argentina as part of the second series of the BBC show.
They were unable to finish the final leg after running out of money.
Jo and Sam's dad Andrew said they were "devastated" in an emotional tribute.
They added: "Sam left us far too soon, and while words will never fully capture the light, joy and energy he brought into our lives, we hold on to the memories that made him so special."
Sam's parents said his time on the BBC show "opened Sam's eyes to the wonder of adventure".

Watch awkward moment Love Island stars sneak out of bedroom for steamy night in the Hideaway
THE Love Island villa is set to be rocked tonight as two stars decide to sneak away for a night alone in the hideaway. The Sun told early this week how blonde air hostess Helena Ford, 29, and semi-pro footballer Harry Cooksley, 30, snuck off and the scenes will play out on screen tonight. 6 6 6 In a first look from the episode Harry is seen telling Helena to tap his foot on the way out. But things don't go quite according to plan and most of the other islander spot them sneaking away - including a bemused Shakira Khan, who was sharing a bed with him. A source previously told The Sun: 'This is the fastest sleepover in the Hideaway in Love Island's twelve series history - and what a gorgeous pair to do so. 'In the past, producers had to invite Islanders to use the breakout bedroom which meant the love nest was generally not used until couples became more established. 'But producers have changed the rules of the breakout bedroom so it can be used at any time, without an invite. 'It means Helena and Harry could take advantage of the 'no invite needed' and explore their connection. 'The scenes will play out later this week, but bosses are unlikely to show anything too naughty, as is the show's usual approach.' Earlier in the episode - Harry discovers that Shakira and Blu had shared a kiss in the hideaway. Dejon says: 'You know he (Blu) kissed her (Shakira)?' Harry replies: 'No he didn't…I don't believe what I'm hearing.' Harry then asks Shakira about the kiss with Blu before telling her: 'All that matters is I want to pursue things with you.' Harry later hears Blu's side of the story, with Blu telling him: 'We had two kisses, where's your head at? It seems to me your with Helena more and flirting?' Harry says: 'I think it's more flirty, but I think Shakira's got more substance.' 6 6 6
