The single-vehicle accident, involving a stolen vehicle, occurred on April 9 on the 7000-block of West Coast Rd. The vehicle lost control on the narrow road’s gravel shoulder, ran into a power pole and flipped over into a ditch.
The accident resulted in the death of 15-year-old Nicolas ‘Nic’ Twiddy.
Two other passengers, Steve Livingstone, 18, and Maria Forbes, 15, were also injured. Forbes was airlifted from the accident scene to hospital with serious head injuries.
