‘Dangerous’ driver ‘killed teenage girl and pal’ while ‘driving uninsured without licence’
A “DANGEROUS” teen driver allegedly killed a teenage girl and her pal while reportedly behind the wheel uninsured and without a licence.
Jordan White is accused of crashing into Ellie Ogden-Hooper, 19, and 23-year-old Reece White in Bedfordshire on January 18.
Emergency services rushed to Toddington Road, Tebworth, following the smash at around 3.20pm – but tragically Ellie, from Leighton Buzzard, and Reece, from Luton were both declared dead at the scene.
Jordan White was driving his black Vauxhall Corsa at the time of the crash, which is still being probed by cops.
He appeared at Luton Magistrates’ Court today, charged with death by dangerous driving.
The 19-year-old is also accused of driving without a valid licence.
A spokesman for Bedfordshire Police said: “Jordan White, aged 19 years, of Leighton Buzzard, appeared before Luton Magistrates’ Court today charged with two counts of causing death by dangerous driving, two counts of causing death while uninsured to drive and two counts of causing death without a valid licence.”
