Three teenagers killed in high-speed horror crash
TWO teenage sweethearts and another teen were killed when a high powered BMW careered off a country road and smashed into a tree.
Ryan Barber and his girlfriend Trudi-Mae Kennell died after a car smashed into a tree
Ryan Barber, 19, his girlfriend Trudi-Mae Kennell, 18, and Will Louch, also 18, died at the scene.
Passenger Dan Wale, 18, was airlifted to hospital with neck, chest and abdominal injuries.
They were travelling back from a weekend trip to Snowdonia.
Grieving family and friends moved swiftly yesterday to deny the teens were acting irresponsibly before the crash near their home town of Atherstone, Warwickshire.
Passenger Will Louch also died at the scene
They were all lovely people and they had never done anything wrong but that always seems to be the case in these tragedies.
A friend Joe Heffernan wrote: “Have some respect, saying oh why do these people drive BMWs to show off..."
Others simply paid tribute.

Ethan Burgess said: “They were all lovely people and they had never done anything wrong but that always seems to be the case in these tragedies.”
Ryan’s mum Tammi Garcia Sanchez said from her home in Spain. “My baby boy Ryan Barber passed away yesterday afternoon in a car accident along with his beautiful girlfriend. I’m so sorry the people who are reading this that I haven’t told. My heart is broken and I’m not sure how life will carry on.”

Police said last night they had arrested and bailed an 18-year-old woman from another vehicle on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
