The mum of a young woman killed in a high speed crash is ensuring she still gets to fulfil her dream of travelling the world.
Today marks one year since Paige Rice was killed in a high speed crash in the Queensway Tunnel in the early hours of October 17 last year. Paige, 22, was a passenger in an Audi S3, which was being driven at 98mph by her ex-partner Callum Miller, when it crashed head on into a Mercedes taxi inside the tunnel.
Paige, from Birmingham, died hours later in hospital, while Callum, a 27-year-old labourer from Stockport, was kept on life support before his death the following day. An inquest into their deaths, held at Gerard Majella Courthouse in Kirkdale on January 31, heard how the driver of the taxi suffered "life-changing" injuries to his leg and hip in the collision and has undergone extensive surgery.
