The mum of a girl who was knocked down and killed by a street racer saw the police scene before she knew her daughter had died.
Courtney Ellis died instantly after being struck by a car being driven around the streets of St Helens and Haydock at high speed by Brandon Turton, who had been racing in convoy with another vehicle. Her mum today described the devastating moment she realised that her daughter had been involved in the fatal collision after she encountered the scene while she was on her way home from work.
At Liverpool Crown Court, Angela Burke told the killer driver before he was sentenced for causing her death by dangerous driving: "The night that you killed my 14-year-old daughter was the most horrific experience I have ever had to go through. It was truly a parent's worst nightmare.
