A teenage girl has been banned from driving after admitting causing the death of her friend.
Georgia Ogden , 17, from Congleton, was a passenger of the Suzuki Swift Millie Beard was driving during a collision with a lorry last summer.
Beard has now pleaded guilty to causing Georgia’s death during the collision - which happened at the junction of Peel Lane with Newcastle Road, in Astbury, Cheshire, on June 25, 2020.
Cheshire Live reports that Beard, 18, and another teenage girl were both seriously injured during the crash.
They were taken to Royal Stoke University Hospital for further treatment.
Beard appeared at Crewe Magistrates' Court on March 23, where she pleaded guilty to causing death by careless driving, Cheshire Live reports.
She was handed a community order and will be electronically monitored with a curfew imposed each Friday, Saturday and Sunday between 7pm and 7am for six months.
Beard, of Pine Way in Somerford, has been banned from driving for two years and ordered to pay costs and a surcharge totalling £180.
She must pass an extended test of competence before she can drive again.
Following the sentence, Georgia's heartbroken family told Cheshire Live that “no sentence will ever be enough” because nothing will bring back their “beautiful, loving, caring, sassy” girl.
They said: “We are absolutely heartbroken that neither us or any representatives for us got the opportunity to hear the sentencing which would have helped us possibly move forward.
“However, no sentence will ever be enough because nothing will ever bring our gorgeous Georgia back.
“The devastating reality is that we are the ones living with a sentence, a life sentence, without our beautiful, loving, caring, sassy daughter Georgia in our lives.
“We are so truly devastated by the whole thing and events that have followed since.”
