Cocaine-Fuelled Motorist Kills Teenage Son in Tragic Car Crash
Surrey, UK — A devastating car crash has left a community in mourning after a father, allegedly under the influence of cocaine, caused a fatal collision that killed his teenage son.
The tragic incident unfolded late Saturday evening on a rural stretch of the A25, near the village of Abinger Hammer. Police say 42-year-old Daniel Hughes was driving erratically when he lost control of his vehicle, veered off the road, and slammed into a tree at high speed. His 15-year-old son, Josh Hughes, who was sitting in the passenger seat, died at the scene.
Emergency services were called shortly after 10:30pm by witnesses who heard the crash and rushed to help. Paramedics attempted to resuscitate the teen but were unable to save him.
Daniel Hughes, who survived with minor injuries, was arrested at the scene after failing a roadside drug test. Subsequent blood analysis confirmed the presence of cocaine in his system well above the legal limit. Police also discovered empty alcohol containers in the vehicle.
“This was a preventable and senseless loss of life,” said Chief Inspector Lisa Edwards of Surrey Police. “Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is not just illegal — it’s deadly. A young life has been cut short because of one man’s recklessness.”
Tributes have poured in for Josh, described by friends and teachers as a “bright, kind-hearted boy” who loved football and had dreams of becoming a sports coach. A candlelight vigil was held at his school Monday evening, with classmates and staff gathering to pay their respects.
Josh’s mother, who is estranged from Mr Hughes, released a heartbreaking statement through her solicitor: “No parent should have to bury their child. I trusted him with our son, and he betrayed that trust in the worst possible way.”
Daniel Hughes remains in police custody and is expected to be charged with causing death by dangerous driving while under the influence of drugs. If convicted, he could face a lengthy prison sentence.
Authorities are urging the public to never get behind the wheel impaired and to report anyone they suspect of driving under the influence.
