A 17-year-old boy was misidentified as the victim of a fatal car crash after a police officer was given a description from his family and a photo ID card to establish who he was, a coroner has been told.
A hearing was held at Doncaster Coroner’s Court on Thursday after police this week admitted Joshua Johnson, 18, died following a collision in Rotherham on December 13, along with a 17-year-old girl – having originally said Trevor Wynn, 17, was the male killed in the incident.
