Agony of teenager who watched her 14-year-old sister die in front of her

A teenager was left suffering from PTSD after seeing her 14-year-old sister killed in front of her by a reckless driver. Courtney Ellis was hit and killed by Brandon Turton, who was driving as fast as 93mph in a 30mph zone.

It happened in September 2020 and a court heard last month that Courtney died instantly after being hit by the Renault Megane driven by Turton, 21. Now, Courtney's mum, Angela, has shared the impact that witnessing the horrific incident has taken on her older daughter Morgan.

She told told the LiverpoolECHO: "My oldest baby witnessed it and she suffers daily with PTSD symptoms and with her mental health, I wish I could take her pain away but I can't, I can only be there for her despite my daily pain and heartbreak too. I just want to do at least one important thing so that future families don't have to go through the same problem as me and my family."
