Killer driver admits causing death of teenager Bethany Fisher and seriously injuring another girl

Killer driver Jordan O’Donnell has admitted causing the death of a teenager and seriously injuring another girl in a horror crash.

The 20-year-old was behind the wheel of a Ford Mondeo with no insurance when he lost control in Bedlington, Northumberland, last month.

Passenger Bethany Fisher tragically suffered fatal injuries while Meg McBurnie, also in the car, was left seriously hurt.

After the collision, O’Donnell rang police and lied that his car had been stolen.

Now he has been warned he is likely to receive a lengthy prison after he admitted offences including causing death by dangerous driving, causing serious injury by dangerous driving and doing acts intending to pervert the course of justice

Judge Tim Gittins, at Newcastle Crown Court, told O’Donnell, who appeared on a video-link to HMP Durham: “You having pleaded guilty to the offences you face, obviously the likelihood is a significant custodial sentence.
