    Cliff Notes

    • The mother of a victim from a fatal crash criticises the government for inaction on young driver fatalities, advocating for the implementation of Graduated Driving Licences (GDLs) to improve road safety.
    • Edward Spencer, 19, was sentenced to two years in detention for causing the deaths of three students due to careless driving, demonstrated by his history of dangerous behaviour behind the wheel.
    • Families of the victims express deep anguish and disappointment at the government’s refusal to adopt GDLs, highlighting the need for systemic change to prevent future tragedies.

    The mother of a girl killed in a car crash says the government’s lack of action on reducing the number of young fatalities is “not good enough anymore” – as the teenager responsible for her death was detained for two years.

    Edward Spencer, 19, was sentenced at Warwick Crown Court for causing the deaths by careless driving of three fellow students while driving home from school in April 2023.

    Spencer, who was 17 at the time of the crash, lost control of his Ford Fiesta near Shipston-on-Stour just six weeks after passing his test.

    His passengers, Matilda “Tilly” Seccombe, 16, Frank Wormald, 16, and Harry Purcell, 17, all died.

    The teenager was travelling at around 64mph when he hit an oncoming Fiat 500 – two children aged 10 and 12 and their stepmother inside suffered “life-changing” injuries.

    Police say his speed was too fast for the road and the conditions, with the court also hearing he had a “history of bad driving” including showing off, evidenced by social media posts and videos.
