North East Lincolnshire assistant coroner, Marianne Johnson, opened the inquest at Cleethorpes Town Hall. 

She said that Shannon, who worked at Asda, had lived at Ennerdale Lane in Scunthorpe and had been a passenger in the Audi along with two others a driver on the night of her death. 

The others suffered injuries and were taken to hospital by paramedics, who attended the scene with Humberside Fire and Rescue Service and Humberside Police. 

The inquest heard Shannon was identified by her brother Shane. No cause of death was released at the hearing. 

The assistant coroner questioned if Shannon was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the collision, which is set to be part of the investigation conducted by Humberside Police. 

The inquest was adjourned to a provisional date in January next year.  

Following the hearing, a spokesperson for the family said: ‘Shannon’s death is still very fresh and painful to us. The disbelief and anger at all the yet to be clarified circumstances that led to her untimely demise is still very raw for us. 

‘It feels unforgiveable that such a young, precious life was taken in a car accident, which we strongly believe was needless and avoidable. 

Tributes poured in for the mother-of-one when she died on June 16 earlier this year 

‘As your name is listed amongst others, we don’t want her to just be another statistic for car accidents. We remember a girl who was full of life, a bright bubbly character and a thoughtful soul. We miss her beautiful smile and beautiful laugh.’

Floral tributes were left at the scene of the crash, which demonstrated Shannon’s popularity in the area. 

Tributes at the roadside read: ‘Rest in peace Shan. Be with your mum and dad. Thinking of the family.’

Friends also posted tributes online saying: ‘Rest in peace Shannon. Heaven has gained a beautiful angel. You will be so deeply missed baby girl.’ 

Another posted: ‘Hearing you have grown your angel wings at such a young age is devastating. Fly high beautiful. Rest in paradise girl. The memories will always be remembered and you’ll be missed by many.’
