Stacey Cutts, aged 18, was a passenger in a car being driven by her boyfriend, Tom Wright. He was racing with another male, Jake Riseborough along the A140 in Norfolk. The two men were racing at speeds in excess of 100 miles an hour when Wright lost control of his vehicle and crashed into fencing and trees. Miss Cutts died almost instantly.

Both men admitted causing death by dangerous driving and both were jailed for three and a half years and banned from driving for five years.

Prosecuting lawyer Andrew Baxter said: “It seems to be a consistent theme not only in Norfolk but I am sure more widely, that young male drivers between the ages of 17-25 are to blame for many of the accidents which the police have to attend. The consequences are terrible."
