HAYLEY Adamson was a pretty, popular teenager who was looking forward to her future.

The 16-year-old planned to study childcare at college and was due to sit the first of her GCSE exams, in English, the day after she was killed.

She doted on her five nephews and nieces, travelling from her home in Cedar Road, Fenham, Newcastle, where she lived with her mother Pat, 55, to older sister Sarah Ridleys house in Scotswood to babysit.

Married mother-of-five Sarah, 32, said Hayley lived for her friends in Scotswood, a group of teenagers who called themselves the Scotchy Mad Dogs (SMD).

She is pictured on memorial website Gone Too Soon in a bridesmaid's dress and arm-in-arm with members of the SMD crew.

She had been drinking with friends on the night she was killed.

Jurors in the trial of Pc John Dougal heard that this may have affected her decision-making when she stepped out in front of his patrol car.

Hayley's friends began a fundraising campaign to pay for a memorial and launched a Justice for Hayley fund immediately after the fatal crash.

They lined the streets on the day of her funeral, as the cortege passed the spot on Denton Road where she died.

Many wore pink in tribute.

The Sacred Heart Catholic High School pupil, who was a bridesmaid at her sisters wedding ten days before her death, was buried in a pink coffin decorated with Playboy bunny logos and wreaths spelling Hayley, 'Sis', and 'Aunty' at Newcastle's West Road Cemetery on June 6 last year.

The clubland dance anthem 'Show Me Heaven' by Micky Modelle played during the service. Hayley had vowed in a pact with her friend, Laura Steele, that this would be their song if anything happened to either of them.

There were so many floral tributes that two flatbed lorries were needed to take them to the chapel.

Hayley would have celebrated her 17th birthday on March 25, when balloons were placed by her grave by her mother and sister and her father Don, plus nephews and nieces Connor, Callum, Curtis, Libby, Logan and family members Susan, Alex and Spencer.

A youth club was launched last month in her memory.

The club, called S-Kids, is based at Scotswood Sports Centre and a room will be dedicated as Hayley's Den.

"Its something that keeps us going," Sarah, of Dorset Road," said.

"If I can keep just one kid off the streets then its worth it."

A statement to the Independent Police Complaints Commission made by Hayley's family as the investigation into her death began said: "We are absolutely devastated by Hayley's death and are struggling to come to terms with everything that has happened.

"Our beautiful daughter filled peoples lives with love, fun and laughter. We cannot believe she has been taken from us in such terrible circumstances.

"Hayley was such a happy, bubbly person who was loved by so many people.

"She cared so much for other people, particularly children, and wanted to get a job in childcare when she had finished her exams. The lovely tributes people have paid about Hayley show that she meant so much to so many people."
