A teenage driver who caused the tragic deaths of three friends in a crash had reassured a grieving dad he’d drive carefully – but tragically, he didn’t keep that promise. Edward Spencer, 19, admitted to causing death by careless driving after losing control of his Ford Fiesta on a country road just weeks after passing his test. His reckless driving resulted in a devastating collision with a Fiat, killing three of his passengers and leaving three others seriously injured.
One of the victims, 16-year-old Matilda Seccombe – known as Tilly – had reportedly voiced concerns about Spencer’s driving on the very day of the crash. Her dad, James, has now revealed that Spencer had personally assured him he’d be responsible behind the wheel. “I told him face to face in our living room to be careful when driving with people in the car, and he promised me he would be. Clearly, he didn’t,” James said, reported Daily Mail.
