Kyle Careford, 20, and Michael Owen, 21, were killed instantly as their car crashed into a church wall during a joyride, recorded by Michael, as they hit speeds over 140km/hr.

The two British men were on a cocktail of prescription and illegal drugs that would have resulted in “severe toxicity,” according to the press release from Sussex County Police.

There’s nothing gruesome in the video. But knowing when the screen goes black that everything ended for the two men is pretty jarring.

The parents of both men hope that by releasing this video, they may be able to prevent a similar tragedy with another family.

Michael’s mother Kat said: “We bring our children up teaching them right from wrong. We guide them and give them our advice and hope they listen, but once they are adults we hope they make the right choices.

“I really don’t know why the boys chose to do what they did, but I blame them both for the decisions they made on this night.

“If all this stops one person from making the same mistake, then some good has come from showing this video. I’m hoping it will have an impact on young people and make them see that a bit of fun can have such devastating consequences.

“I would like all the young people out there to take notice and realise that you are not invincible and take seriously how precious your lives are to yourselves and others. I want young drivers to consider how much devastation it causes to the families and loved ones that are left behind.”
