A SENIOR coroner says it has been impossible to carry out a "meaningful investigation" into a crash which killed two sisters from Whiteparish, after the Moroccan authorities failed to supply any information.

Students Tara Darlington, 23, and her 21-year-old sister Pippa died in an early-morning crash in southern Morocco on September 17, 2012.

The sisters, described by their parents Patrick and Emma as "two of the most beautiful, dynamic, energetic and fun-loving girls who brought light and laughter to whoever met them", were looking forward to bright futures.

Tara was studying media, journalism and sociology at Goldsmiths University and had begun her own small business, Savvy Social Media, while Pippa had won a place to study law at Newcastle University after gaining three A grades at A-level.

On Tuesday, at Salisbury Coroner's Court, coroner David Ridley recorded a conclusion of road traffic collision but said despite numerous attempts no information had come through from Morocco.

Relying on a phone call given by a gendarmerie to the British Embassy in Rabat on the day of the crash, Mr Ridley said the sisters and a friend, Joshua Stump, were driving on the N1 from Laayounne to Tarfaya, when the collision happened at 5am, 14km south of Tarfaya.

The court heard Pippa, who was driving a VW Golf, lost control of the car hitting an oncoming Renault Clio before colliding head-on with a 4x4 that had been travelling behind the Clio. Tara was in the front passenger seat and Joshua asleep in the back.

Mr Ridley said it was not known why Pippa had lost control.

The sisters died at the scene while Joshua was taken to a hospital in Laayoune. Four other people were seriously injured with five further people suffering minor injuries Mr Ridley said: "That's all we have been able to ascertain from the Moroccan authorities."

He added: "I'm sorry our efforts to produce more information in relation to how Pippa came to lose control of the vehicle have not produced results. It may be the case there was no investigation."

The family did not attend the read-only inquest.

*A justgiving website, which was set up in lieu of flowers or other remembrances to honour Tara and Pippa, has collected more than £16,000 for Streetlytes, a charity of particular importance to the girls providing care and support for the homeless and those suffering from mental health and addiction issues.

Described as being "not just sisters but the best of friends", the "Darlington double" loved doing everything together and were "each other's soulmates".

Their parents said they would be "forever young and together".
