Summer Louise Scott, 17, was behind the wheel of a Toyota which left the road and struck a tree in Rotherham in the early hours of December 13 - killing her, 18-year-old Joshua Johnson and critically injuring 17-year-old Trevor Wynn.
Facebook pages show the typical modern chavette making gang-type gestures on social media - the only oddity being this one was female.
A staggering identity mix-up meant Joshua's family spent Christmas believing he was under sedation in hospital - only to be told by South Yorkshire Police he actually passed away in the crash
And now the clamour is all 'How could this happen' - the 'this' being the identity mix-up, not the crash itself. It seems the apple didn't fall far from the tree, the driver's father proving to be just as immature as his dauhter.
Meanwhile, Trevor's family - who were told the teen was dead - were informed after three weeks of grief that he was still alive and recovering in hospital. On Wednesday, Summer's relatives described her as 'the light of everyone's life' and said she had 'a kind-hearted and pure soul'.
Just no common sense or driving ability.
In a poignant tribute left at the crash scene, her father Lee said 'I'm not mad at you' over the accident, adding: 'Summer mate. You've really rocked my world. Don't worry about a thing. 'One day we'll meet again but until that day I'll cherish the memories we have. I was so proud of you Summer. All my love forever and always. Dad xxx'
Hardly surprising with this maulin idiot as a 'father' that she turned out as she did...
The unthinkable identity error was only uncovered when Trevor regained consciousness on Sunday and told shocked medical staff: 'I'm Trevor.'
Sounds dramitic, but that's the 'Mail' for you. In actual fact it was less dramatic:
The alarm was finally raised over the weekend by a friend of Joshua who believed he was visiting the teenager in hospital. As he started to open his eyes, the youth began talking about his family and where he studied – details which he believed did not match with Joshua. On Sunday, the friend contacted Joshua's parents, who alerted South Yorkshire Police, leading to the appalling mix-up finally being confirmed.
And now everyone's pointing fingers at the police, no doubt expecting that sweet, sweet compo payout.
In an emotional statement issued on Wednesday night, the family of Joshua revealed 'what we have been through and are continuing to go through is unimaginable.' Jake Richard, MP for Rother Valley, said South Yorkshire Police now faces 'serious questions' about 'how such a failure occurred and what safeguards were not in place to prevent it'. He added: 'This is an appalling situation for the families involved.'
Both the crash itself and the mix up are on the parents of these teenagers, not the police who had to deal with the aftermath.
In yet another extraordinary twist, the Daily Mail can reveal that Trevor's parents did view the body following the crash and accepted it was their son's. 'Trevor's parents saw Joshua, and Joshua's parents saw Trevor,' a source said.
So if they dare suggest they should be in line for compensation - and these days, who'd bet against some idiot judge ordering it - deduct the cost of the cleanup operation and tree replanting, and the NHS treatment.
