A BMW driver, who 'showed off' by driving up to 60mph around a bend before smashing into a tree and killing a teenage girl, has been jailed for two years and eight months.
Callum Hone, 24, from Woodmansterne in Surrey appeared at Guildford Crown Court yesterday, where he pleaded guilty for death by dangerous driving.
Leanne Taylor, 17, a passenger in the back seat of the car, was killed in the collision at Tupwood Scrubbs Road in Caterham in February 2020.
Leanne's family today paid tribute to their 'one of a kind' daughter who had a 'massive individual personality'.
Hone picked Leanne and another friend up in his BMW 320 on the evening of February 1, before they joined another group of friends at Caterham Viewpoint.
