Ellie Crossley and Rebecca Doughty were two young women who tragically lost their lives while doing some Christmas shopping. They were both just 20 years old and had been lifelong friends. The two of them were on their way home to Flintshire, North Wales in a silver Citroen when they were involved in a collision with a blue BMW. The driver of the BMW, Benjamin Lewis, admitted to causing the crash and therefore the deaths of Ellie and Rebecca.
Lewis, who was 30 years old at the time of the incident, had previously pleaded guilty to death by careless driving at Chester Crown Court in October 2023. He was also seriously injured in the crash and had to be taken to the hospital for treatment. Despite initially denying the charges of death by dangerous driving, Lewis eventually changed his plea to guilty during a pre-trial review hearing. The case was then adjourned for reports to be prepared.
The families of Ellie and Rebecca, who were both from different towns in North Wales, expressed their grief and sadness in a tribute to the two girls. They described them as lifelong friends who were on their way home from a Christmas shopping trip when the accident occurred. Both families and their friends were devastated by the tragic event and will deeply miss their loved ones. They will forever hold Ellie and Rebecca in their hearts.
The driver, Lewis, will be sentenced on April 29 and has been granted unconditional bail until that date. It is a difficult and emotional time for all those involved, especially the families of Ellie and Rebecca who have lost their beloved daughters and friends. Let us all take a moment to remember and honor the lives of these two young women who were taken far too soon. May their souls rest in peace.
