Police on Teesside are continuing their appeal for witnesses to an horrific car smash which claimed the lives of two eighteen year olds and left two more teenagers badly injured.
One of those who died was Katy Linighan who lived in the Clavering area of Hartlepool. She perished along with friend Richard Clemot-Escobar when the Vauxhall Astra they were travelling in, careered off the A19, hitting trees and landing on its roof.
One of the teenagers to survive - a youth aged 18 - is reported to be in a critical but stable condition at the James Cook University Hospital, Middlesbrough, the second - an 18-year-old girl - is being treated at the Sunderland Eye Infirmary.
The accident happened two miles north of the A689 interchange and less than half a mile south of Dalton Lane, on the A19, near Hartlepool, just after midnight on Tuesday. No other vehicles were involved.
Anyone with information which can help Cleveland Police are asked to contact (0'1642) 301558.
