Teen who killed two in crash filmed herself speeding on Snapchat

A teenager filmed herself on Snapchat speeding and laughing, days before she killed two people in a crash.

The footage – obtained by Gloucestershire Police officers analysing Liberty Mitchell’s social media – was released after the 21-year-old was jailed on Friday.

The videos showed her “lack of care for driving safely”, police said, with one clip showing her veering onto the opposite side of the road towards an oncoming car as friends shouted for her to stop.

Another showed her driving at 100 miles (161km) per hour on a country road.

Mitchell was 18 years old when she killed taxi driver Octavian Codreanu and his passenger Moyra Whelan in a crash less than a month after passing her driving test.

She had been travelling 96mph in a 60mph zone in Gloucestershire seconds before impact.

Mitchell, from Chipping Norton, was jailed for six years and eight months at Gloucester Crown Court on Friday.

She had admitted two counts of causing death by dangerous driving and causing death by driving whilst uninsured.

She also pleaded guilty to three counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving in relation to the incident.
