Driver flees scene of 108mph crash leaving his friend for dead

A driver was caught on camera downing pints of beer, shots and spirits before being involved in a catastrophic crash that claimed the life of his friend. Ross Neville drank 'to excess' over five hours in Newcastle city centre before getting behind the wheel of his Ford Raptor with Matthew Newton, 28. The 35-year-old careered off the road while attempted to drive the pair home - after being filmed driving dangerously and overtaking vehicles at speed.
