Horrifying moment drunk-driver LAUGHS as passengers beg her to slow down – before she crashes into wall & kills student | The Sun

THIS is the horrifying moment a drunk driver laughed as her passengers begged her to slow down just before a fatal crash.

Chelsea Standage, 21, was convicted of causing the death of Elliott Lemm, 20, by dangerous driving.



In shocking video of the moments before the crash, a female passenger can be heard screaming, "Oi slow down,” and Standage responds “F*** off.”

The passenger repeats "No I'm being serious slow down… help me she's going to die…Oh my God."

The driver then laughs and replies: "I'm only going 80 mile an hour f***king hell".

Another horrifying video is captioned: "We're only off 80 mile an hour. Mate she's never experienced a crash ahahahahahahahaha," while another social media post shows a bottle of Stella Artois on the dash of her car as she's driving.

Not long after the videos were posted, Standage, who was found to have traces of cocaine and cannabis in her blood, raced into a wall at approximately 70 miles an hour, crushing Elliott to death.

Elliot's grieving mum, Samantha, told The Sun: "Elliott had his seatbelt on but he didn't stand a chance the way she was driving. He went straight into the wall and took the full impact.

"The videos of her telling everyone to ‘f*** off’ when they are begging her to slow down just make me feel sick.

"It's been horrific, one day we were paying for [Elliot] to do his NVQ levels 2 and 3 and the next thing I'm going to ID his body."

Elliott only met Standage and her pals later at night back in November 2021 after spending the day at home, but social media videos from earlier in the evening show Standage and the group drinking, shouting and singing.

Samantha is adamant her son would not have got in the car had he known how much drink Standage had consumed.

She said: "He wasn't out drinking with them all day.

"I know my own son, if he had known how much alcohol and drugs she had in her system, he wouldn't have got in the car.”

Standage was sentenced to eight years and eight months at Leeds Crown Court after the horror crash which followed a day of snorting cocaine and downing cider, beer, Jagerbombs and vodka.

But Samantha insisted that “no sentence will ever be good enough” for the “hell” she and her family have suffered.

She added that Standage's actions had "destroyed" her family and she will "never forgive" her for it.
