Triple death crash survivor 'critical'

Chloe Newby was in the back of a Vauxhall Corsa which collided head-on with a VW Golf on Adwick Road, Mexborough, on December 27.

In a statement released by police on behalf of the family, her parents said Chloe was still in Doncaster Royal Infirmary, where her condition is described as stable, but critical.

The statement continued: “Chloe is a student at Mexborough School Specialist Science College where she is studying for her A Levels.

“She has had previous involvement with Mexborough Youth Club where she is well known and liked.

“We would ask for people not to jump to conclusions about the incident and to assist the police with all enquiries, passing any information to South Yorkshire Police on 0114 2202020.

“We would like to thank all staff at Doncaster Royal Infirmary who have been brilliant in their care of Chloe and professional throughout.

“Our hearts and minds are with the families of the deceased.”

Two 17-year-olds—Robert Ryan Tepper and Jonathan Scott—and 16-year-old Lauren Birkett, or Mexborough, died in the accident.

The driver of the Golf, a 56-year-old man, survived but suffered fractures.
