Boy racer who left friend dying in crash detained

A “cowardly” boy racer who fled and left his 15-year-old friend dying in the wreckage of a crashed car has been detained.

Billy Conroy was 16 when he crashed a Mazda6 in Newcastle while fleeing from police, with passenger Conner Loder suffering “catastrophic” fatal head injuries, the city’s crown court heard.

Conner’s mother said her family had been “broken” by his death and the mistake had “cost him his life”.
