Drink driving teenager killed herself and her best friend when she hit her brakes for no reason and flipped her car

A teenage drink-driver killed herself and her best friend by 'playing with the brakes' and flipping her car while driving at 87mph, an inquest heard. Shaya Leigh, 18, was twice over the legal alcohol limit when she was driving, alongside front seat passenger Kerrylee O’Leary-Staniford, 17, who had her feet dangled out of the window. Three backseat passengers were left with multiple injuries - two are re-learning how to walk - after Shaya braked for no reason and lost control of her silver Renault Clio. An inquest in Wiltshire heard that neither girl was wearing their seatbelt properly as they tore along a dual carriageway at 5am after an evening’s drinking.

The car spun round and corkscrewed through the air, launching three of the passengers out as it careered 50 metres off the A419 outside Swindon. Kerry was thrown through the windscreen and into the path of the car while Shaya was found dead in the driver’s seat with the seatbelt only on her lap. Survivor Harry Livingstone, 20, who was in the middle rear seat, was thrown out of the back windscreen and ended up underneath the vehicle. Jake Gibbons, 20, was flung through the sun roof and landed 10 metres from the car. The only survivor left in their original position was Jordan Gilliver, 20, who was wearing his seat belt in the back. His head was forced out through the broken side window.
