Two young speeding drivers were 'playing a game of follow my leader' and 'egging each other on' before a horror crash on the A6 which nearly killed a student midwife.
Joseph Bostock began following and 'tailgating' Lewis Severn after he 'cut him up' and overtook him. The pair, who didn't know each other, weaved in and out of traffic at nearly double the speed limit on a wet night and were 'creaming it', according to a witness.
Severn, who at the time was serving in the army, then ploughed into a mum-of-two as she crossed the road whilst on a night out in Hazel Grove, Stockport.
