A teenage father has died in a horrific head-on crash with a woman who was driving the wrong way down a major highway at 3am in California.
Shocking photographs show the mangled vehicles in the aftermath of the collision which took the lives of Thomas Ryder Shoup, 16, and Eileen Crawford, 67.
Shoup, known as Ryder Day, was described as 'the sweetest kid' by relatives, while Crawford had been undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, according to friends.
California Highway Patrol said Crawford's Honda Civic was traveling the wrong way at 75-80mph down the Interstate 5 in southern California on April 10.
She collided head-on with the Dodger Challenger driven by Ryder, a 10th-grader at Mar Vista High School who has a baby son called Marcelo.
