FIVE young people fled an accident scene, leaving their dying friend slumped in the wreckage of a car which had smashed into a tree, an inquest has heard.
The five hid out for several hours in a shed, knowing Jermaine Hill (pictured) was probably dead, and watching as emergency crews tended the scene.
Last Thursday's inquest heard that Mr Hill, a 20-year-old labourer from Lisnaclin Court in Dungannon, had been driving the car which crashed near Newmills.
He was one of six friends travelling in the Renault Laguna along Farlough Road during the early hours of July 21 2008.
Mr Hill, described by his grief-stricken mother as "a big kid at heart", lost control of the vehicle as it approached a bend, the inquest was told.
