Driver fled after horror smash and left his two friends critically hurt - it was the last time he'd ever see one of them alive

A man caused a horror smash after leading police on a high-speed chase then fled - leaving his 17-year-old passenger with fatal injuries. Elliot Martin, 21, led cops on a pursuit while driving a Ford Focus in the early hours of March 31 last year.

Two passengers - including Ronaldo Johnson, 17 - were with Martin. Officers in a marked police car saw him skip a red light.

They followed Martin along Wilmslow Road in Withington, south Manchester, onto Copson Street after he took a sharp left. The Focus was driven the wrong way around a roundabout onto Yew Tree Road, where the chase began.
