Consett driver admits causing death of 'much loved' teenage girl in horror smash

A driver has admitted causing the death of a "much-loved" teenage girl in a horror crash in Durham.

Craig Graham, 19, was behind the wheel of a silver Ford Fiesta when the vehicle collided with a wall on Potterhouse Lane in Pity Me, Durham, on Saturday August 28, last year. The crash resulted in the death of Graham's 18-year-old rear seat passenger, Georgia Duncan. Two other teenage passengers were also seriously injured.

Emergency services were called to the fatal crash at around 6.20pm but, despite the best efforts of paramedics, Georgia, from Tantobie, was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. Floral tributes were later left by friends and family.
