Driver pleads guilty over Wolverhampton crash which left passenger dead
A dangerous driver has admitted causing the death of a 23-year-old in a horror crash in Wolverhampton.
Tyrone Barnes killed front seat passenger Ethan Mornan-Jones when the VW Golf he was driving collided with a BMW X5.
He admitted causing death by dangerous driving when he appeared at Birmingham Crown Court on Tuesday morning.
The defendant also admitted driving otherwise in accordance with a licence and driving without insurance on August 22.
The crash happened in Finchfield Road, between Bradmore and Merridale, at 7pm.
Mr Mornan-Jones was pronounced dead at the scene, near Bantock Park, while Barnes was airlifted to hospital with serious injuries to his leg and pelvis.
A fundraiser launched after his death has gathered more than £5,000.
Barnes was charged following his release from hospital almost three weeks after the crash.
The 28-year-old, of Skidmore Avenue, Wolverhampton, will be sentenced at the court on October 26.
Four people in the BMW, two of which were believed to be children, were also taken to hospital as a precaution following the crash.
A bystander was treated by ambulance staff in the aftermath.
