Police who named wrong fatal car crash victim 'used family description and ID card'
A police officer who wrongly identified the victim of a car crash relied on the family's description of him and a photo ID card when he tried to establish who he was, a coroner has been told.
South Yorkshire Police (SYP) admitted this week that Joshua Johnson, 18, died following a collision on Todwick Road, Rotherham, in December, along with a 17-year-old girl. The force had originally said Trevor Wynn, 17, was the male killed in the incident and Mr Johnson was badly injured in hospital.
