emergency can help the road rather than a car I never envisaged that the case would unfold in such a unusual way it was overturned and topic was was a young lad sat cross-legged I've never had that before Danny stand still fella stand still all right no problem we just got to make sure you're okay okay we'll make sure everything's okay I don't know I haven't had look yet you told me you were driving you said it's dad's car yeah you said it's dad's a car and you took the keys yes so how many were in the car with you mate two others you and two what were their names while their name's Danny as far as we're aware the driver saying that there were three people within the vehicle including him in the backseat both of them in the backseat when we're in the backseat yeah so wonder why there was no one in the front [Music] Luke was the gel that seemed to make every sink work and he made our family work for us it wasn't a unique set of circumstances by far the highest attesting for people that are killed or injured in crashes is young males I'm now arresting you on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after he was arrested Danny Lee changed his account he goes from saying that he was the driver of the car at the time of the crash to saying that it was his cousin sex Ross Harris he was driving the car at the time the car was sunny our site if you wanted to come in sex ed yeah we drove to Porchester petrol station with and Zach's stuck 30 quid of super unleaded in Zack then jumped into the front because he paid for petrol and he wanted to go and he lost control gone backwards and from there I don't really remember much in the interview he maintained that account it wasn't me driving it was ex driving if Danny's account was true at that point it meant Zacks had run away from the scene left to dying boys in the back of a car and left his cousin Danny to take the rap where you're in a car I'll start with Daniel a sunny and you've ever been in a common threat Sachs gave the account that he had been at work all day and then after work had gone to the pub with his dad he certainly was the polar opposite to Danny he wasn't upset he wasn't emotional the fact that he was so chilled there's two ways to look at it he just doesn't care or the other option is he knows he's not responsible and he's got nothing to worry about I couldn't go out and do my normal shopping the fear of bumping into them the whole time I knew that one of them's lying and one of them's telling the truth it was torture but in the day I feel sorry for everyone they look at Danny Lee you know he's got to live with the fact that he's lost his best mate he's gotta live with the fact that he was the one who had the car [Music] there was quite a lot of Sachs's story that that was corroborated by the evidence that we were gathering it was just the timing wasn't quite right one of the other inquiries that we made was in relation to the petrol station what that showed us is that the car driven by Danny Lee arrives on the forecourt and then a person walks towards the the night kiosk quite clearly that is X but what a CCTV doesn't show is anyone other than Danny Lee driving the car it was going to come down to forensics testing the seat belts for fiber plastic fusion see your full name is Danny Lee Gordon Ross behringer we needed to into both of them to to challenge their accounts as act for a nation or a virus but from the evidence we'd established at that point there was only really one main suspect far as you're concerned everything you told me last time was true yeah Danny's phone sends a message to your phone this is fancy sticking a tenner in the car your phone then replies yeah let me let my phone charge up for a little bit first though cuz right this is some CCTV from the BP petrol station is that you in the video yeah but you told me you've never been in your heart the forensic scientist says is it Danny Ming must have been the first a passenger and that you must have been the driver at the time of the collision say about that is that true we proved that everything that he said was a pack of lies it ended with an aggressive angry Zacks [Music] Zack does proper to a kamikaze let let me drive give me a driving lesson pull into the few pond Zack then jumped into the font [Music] as soon as I switched it was a head of a lot faster and what has made them as well yeah he was just laughing and joking around I call that fast although fasteners that no we don't want to go faster League see boat did why properly he was just kind of holding it but in place to the fist he weren't supposed to be treating he was just must be known [Music] last posting for Francis except in the back escape [Music] [Music] you
