A British schoolgirl predicted her own death on Facebook just moments before being killed by a drunk driver.
The Daily Mail in Britain reported that 14-year-old Kayleigh Lawrie pleaded to be allowed to get out of the car being driven by her father's friend because she was so scared by his ‘Formula One’ style driving.
In court overnight, Hayter was jailed for six years for Kayleigh’s death on August 4 last year.“I think I’m going to die. xx. luv you all,” were the chilling last words posted by 14-year-old Kayleigh Lawrie as she was travelling in a car with professional driver Steven Hayter, who was twice over the legal blood alcohol limit.
When Hayter stopped, Kayleigh posted the message and told Hayter it was because she was scared.
“Hayter then called at a filling station and clipped the central pump island before reversing back and almost hitting another vehicle. He tried to fill up with diesel instead of petrol,” the newspaper said.
He was trying to retrieve a dropped cigarette from near his feet when the car crashed, killing Kayleigh instantly, the Daily Mail said.Sponsored links
