Mother's heart 'splintered into a million pieces' when daughter died following Christmas Day crash
Lillie Clack, 22, from Morden in south London, was injured after the vehicle she was in smashed into a tree in the early hours of Christmas Day 2021. She died a few days later.
The kitchen designer was among six people who had squeezed into a Mercedes following a night out.
At the wheel was drink-driver Charlie Hilton, 25, who was chased by police and reached speeds of more than 100mph before the car struck the tree, flipped over and burst into flames.
During an inquest into Ms Clack's death, her mother, Debbie Clack, told South London Coroner's Court on Friday: "Lillie is always on my mind. Did Lillie suffer? I know that she would have been scared and wanted her mummy.
"My heart splintered into a million pieces and Lillie is the only medication that can fix it."
Ms Clack's brother Michael also gave a statement - read out on his behalf - saying his sister's death had a "massive impact upon my family and everyone around".
He added: "I will never forgive Charlie Hilton for what he did to Lillie as he has ruined my life and the life of my family."
Ms Clack had gone to a pub in Morden with her friends before they accepted a lift home from Hilton.
In February 2023, Hilton was jailed for 10 years and six months after pleading guilty to causing Ms Clack's death by dangerous driving, three counts of causing serious injury, failing to stop when directed and driving above the alcohol limit.
He was also disqualified from driving for five years after his release from prison.
The inquest heard Hilton had been told by his passengers that a police vehicle had turned its blue lights on behind them and was indicating for him to stop.
Instead, he sped up and was driving so fast that the passengers bumped their heads on the roof of the car as they were chased by police.
Boyfriend asked 'where's Lillie?' after crash
Among those in the car were Ms Clack's boyfriend Jack Watson, who sat in the backseat, and her best friend Delia Casey, who was in the front.
Mr Watson told the inquest: "I think I might have said 'Charlie what are you doing, why are you going so fast'. I think the girls were in shock."

He recalled Hilton telling him to shut up.
Mr Watson said he does not remember the crash but does recall being pulled out on a stretcher and bleeding from his lip.
He added: "I remember asking 'where's Lillie?'. I remember being in an ambulance and blood on my jacket but I do not know where the blood came from.
"My clothing was cut off from me - and I knew then that it was bad."

Police link rise in hare coursing to early harvest
An earlier than usual harvest has led to an increase in reports of hare coursing in north-east Scotland, say police. The illegal activity involves dogs chasing, catching and killing hares on open farmland. It is most commonly reported after crops have been cut in late summer and before spring, as short vegetation leaves hares with fewer opportunities to hide. Police Scotland said: "This year's warm summer and early harvest have led to increased reports of hare coursing in recent weeks. Members of the public are being urged to report any suspicious activity." More stories from North East Scotland, Orkney and Shetland Listen to news from North East Scotland on BBC Sounds Police said hare coursing was cruel and frequently linked to other crimes such as theft, damage and intimidation. They said the activity was a cause of concern for landowners, farmers and rural communities. Police Scotland said: "Hare coursing is primarily a seasonal issue affecting rural communities across our force area. "It is most common from late summer when the crops are cut through to spring when crops are not grown enough to provide hares with sufficient cover. "This year, due to an early harvest, we have seen an increase in reports of hare coursing." Dog ban In February, a man whose dog attacked and injured a deer became the first person in Scotland to be convicted and sentenced under new hunting legislation. Nickolas Chenier, 56, was using his golden lurcher for hare coursing when it went after the deer near a cemetery in Wick. Members of the public tried to protect the severely injured deer, before Chenier appeared and killed the animal with a knife. He was prosecuted under the Hunting With Dogs Act (Scotland) Act, which came into force in 2023, and fined £750 and banned from owning a dog for five years. Chenier pleaded guilty at Wick Sheriff Court. More on this story Unpaid work for men who hunted hares with dogs Related internet links How to contact Police Scotland

Man accused of ramming car into Liverpool soccer parade faces a further 24 charges
LONDON (AP) — The man accused of ramming his car into a parade of Liverpool soccer fans in May as the team was celebrating its Premier League triumph is to face a further 24 charges, including two relating to victims who were babies. Paul Doyle, 53, was in tears as he appeared over videolink from prison for the Liverpool Crown Court hearing on Thursday. During the hearing, he was informed of the new charges, 23 of which were for assault. Six of the new charges relate to children, including two babies aged 6 and 7 months at the time. He was originally charged with seven offenses after the incident in the city center on May 26. Doyle is expected to enter pleas on Sept. 4. Fans had been celebrating Liverpool's record-tying 20th title when Doyle allegedly drove down a street full of fans and joy quickly turned to tragedy. Police said they believed Doyle got through a roadblock by following an ambulance that was trying to reach a possible heart attack victim. In a video the car could be seen hitting and sending a person wrapped in a red Liverpool flag into the air before swerving into a sea of people packed on the side of the road. At least four people, including a child, had to be freed from beneath the vehicle when it came to a halt. The victims ranged in age from 9 to 78, police said. The suspect was believed to have acted alone and terrorism was not suspected, Merseyside Police said. They have not disclosed an alleged motive for the act.

Monea teen 'honoured' to be shortlisted for an award
The Impartial Reporter Community Champion Awards in association with Encirc are only one month away! As part of our countdown to the big event, The Impartial Reporter is highlighting some of those who have been shortlisted for awards. In this year's Youth Community Champion category, Jack McCubbin has been shortlisted. Jack's nomination came from the public, and the person who nominated him said: 'Jack, a 15-year-old from Monea, has proven himself a remarkable young advocate and a true Community Champion. 'Deeply concerned about the state of road safety in Fermanagh, Jack took it upon himself to research, prepare, and deliver a powerful presentation to the Policing and Community Safety Partnership (PCSP), highlighting critical issues such as dangerous road junctions, the Fatal Five causes of road traffic collisions, and the safety of school transport.' The nomination continued: 'His work was so compelling that it drew the attention of Chief Inspector Graham Dodds, Head of Roads Policing, and received high praise from PCSP Chairman Councillor Roy Crawford, who described Jack as a role model and a strong voice for both young people and adults.' Reacting to his nomination, Jack said: 'Recently, I was checking my emails, and was pleasantly surprised to find one stating I had been shortlisted for an award. 'At first I thought it was a scam until I saw who sent it.' He said: 'I am very honoured to have been shortlisted for the "Youth Community Champion Award". I will always emphasise this, however, no matter what award I win, I am not doing this for me, I am doing it for you, your family and your friends. 'Across Northern Ireland, people are still dying on our roads. Without educating and engaging with people about Road safety, people will continue to die on our roads; we all have one simple mission, zero road deaths in Northern Ireland.' Road safety is still a key message for Jack and he noted that he wished to thank all of those who are supporting him on his mission to raise more awareness on the issue. Jack is one of a number of young people who have been shortlisted in the Youth Community Champion awards sponsored by Mannok.
