A 19-year-old man has been killed, and six other people injured, in a horror late-night crash – with an 18-year-old arrested for dangerous driving.
The collision, which took place late on Friday night, involved two cars at a quiet crossroads in St Tudy, Cornwall.
The teen, who was in the front passenger seat of one of the cars, was sadly pronounced dead at the scene, where police, ambulance and fire services were present.
