Furious mum slams police after daughter trapped in car crash with dead friends for two days

The devastated mum of a 20-year-old girl who was trapped in a car crash for almost two days has slammed police who allegedly told her to 'stop calling' for taking nearly 46 hours to find her daughter.

On Monday, police discovered Eve Smith, 21, Darcy Ross, 21 and Rafel Jeanne, 24 dead inside a Volkswagen Tiguan while Sophie Russon and Shane Loughlin, 32 survived but remain in a critical condition. All five were last seen travelling in the vehicle in the early hours of Saturday after a night out when the car came off the A48(M) in Cardiff and crashed into trees, the Mirror reports.

The girls had been in Newport earlier in the night and were reported missing to Gwent Police but the force told Sophie's concerned mother, Anna Certowicz that they were 'probably out partying'.
