Inquest opens into death of Yorkshire businessman who ran company until he was 78 after his car crashed into tree

David Grayson, 93, of Beadlam, died on April 8 when his Nissan Qashqai left the road at Daskett Hill, near Sheriff Hutton. His car had travelled from Beadlam and through Terrington before striking the tree. An inquest opened at North Yorkshire Coroner’s Court on Friday heard that Mr Grayson died of multiple injuries. Mr Grayson, a widower, left son Andrew, daughter Ruth, five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

The commercial laundry business in Kirkbymoorside, which serves hotels and guesthouses in the area, employed My Grayson as a clerk after he left the RAF, and by the 1970s he owned the company with his business partner. Even after stepping down, he would pop into the factory to help fix machines. The laundry was set up by three women in 1900 and provided employment for generations of local people. Mr Grayson took over from Frank Moss, who had bought it during World War One.
