Rhys McLennan was behind the wheel of a Nissan Pixo when it collided with a tree on the B6341 near Edlingham, close to Alnwick. The 19-year-old's passenger, Chelsea Gillie, suffered serious injuries and was taken to Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary.

However, the 17-year-old, from Berwick, died in the hospital three-days-later.
