The last photo a loving mum ever took of her boy - minutes later he was dead

A mum has shared how her beloved son was killed by a hit and run driver just minutes after she took a picture of him ready for his first night out and uploaded the snap to Facebook.

Liam Simpson was just 18 when he was mowed down by reckless driver Daniel Beck, now 34. Beck fled the scene and checked into hospital for his own injuries, but Liam was tragically killed instantly by 'catastrophic' injuries.

Just 15 minutes earlier, loving mum Vicky Simpson, 41, had taken a picture of her boy on his way out to celebrate his friend's 18th birthday. Vicky remembers making sure Liam got his hair cut and helping him pick out an outfit for the big night, before proudly taking pictures of him. But by the time she had uploaded them, Liam had been killed.
