Family’s ‘unimaginable’ ordeal after crash ID error

The family of a teenager who died in a car crash have described their “unimaginable” ordeal after being mistakenly told their son had survived.

South Yorkshire Police believed Trevor “TJ” Wynn, 17, had died alongside Summer Louise Scott, 17, in a collision near Rotherham on 13 December, while fellow passenger Joshua Johnson, 18, was seriously injured.

However, police said “information came to light” on Sunday which confirmed it was actually Joshua who had died alongside Summer, with Trevor left seriously injured.

Jonathan Stoner, who had been helping to raise funds for Trevor’s funeral, said the error was discovered after he regained consciousness and said his name and date of birth.
