A young driver caused the death of a "beautiful" teenage girl in a horror smash after being "encouraged" by his friend to lift the vehicle off the road.
Craig Graham was behind the wheel of a Ford Fiesta that included three other teenage passengers on August 28, last year when he was driving around County Durham. But during the journey, Graham's front seat passenger "encouraged" him by saying "fly me, motherf*****" on a section of road they both knew undulated.
It was then that Graham made the decision to try and lift the car in the air, and hit the blind summit at over 70mph, resulting in all four wheels lifting off the narrow B-road. But the 19-year-old lost control of the vehicle and smashed into a stone wall, instantly killing his backseat passenger, 18-year-old Georgia Duncan.
