A ‘boy racer’ who reached speeds of almost 100mph at an unauthorised car meet later struck and killed a budding young footballer from Stockport, causing him to be thrown 10ft into the air.
Mason Hodgson, 23 was driving his black Audi S3 at the unregulated event in Warrington, Cheshire, on April 10 2022 when he mowed down former England Schoolboys player Sam Harding as he stepped into the road.
