An inquest has been opened into the death of a "lovely boy" who was killed after a head-on crash involving a bus and a car.
Police were called to the A47 at South Brink, Guyhirn, at around 2.45pm on Saturday, May 31.
Nojukas Korzeniauskas, of Cygnet Cresent, in March, was tragically pronounced dead at the scene.
His friends and family described him as "always our light – our joy, our pride, a part of our hearts."
Area coroner Elizabeth Gray opened the 18-year-old's inquest on Thursday (June 26) at Lawrence Court, in Huntingdon.
At a brief hearing, Ms Gray said a vehicle travelling south-west on the A47 entered the opposing carriageway before striking the second, heading norvehicle head-on.
The road was closed between the Rings End roundabout and Wisbech for several hours after the collision.
She said: "The second vehicle left the road on the north bank; the second vehicle left the road on the south bank and caught fire.
"Mr Korzeniauskas was declared deceased at the scene."
Cambridgeshire Police continues to appeal for witnesses or dashcam footage of the collision.
A tribute, issued by the force, read: "Our dearest Nojukas - you were always our light – our joy, our pride, a part of our hearts.
"Your smile lit up every room, and your laughter was music to our home.
"We – your mama, dad, and brother – say goodbye not as to someone gone, but to someone who will always remain with us – in our memories, our dreams, our hearts."
A provisional cause of death was not given pending the results of Mr Korzeniauskas postmortem examination.
The coroner adjourned the inquest to be resumed at a later date.
