Michael Lawrence denied he was showing off before collision with buoy in Southampton Water in which Emily Lewis, 15, died
The skipper of a speedboat that crashed into a buoy, killing a 15-year-old girl, has told a court he felt light-headed and lost his vision for a “split second” before the impact.
Emily Lewis suffered fatal injuries when the rigid inflatable boat (Rib) collided with the 4.5-metre-high buoy in Southampton Water at more than 40mph, leaving a number of other passengers seriously injured.
