DOUBLE death crash driver Sean Creed has admitted killing two friends in an horrific smash while drunk at the wheel.

The 28-year-old has pleaded guilty to causing the deaths of Jade Turley, 16, and Paul Workman, 38.

Their families and friends were devastated after his powerful Subaru Impreza smashed through a Cotswold stone wall on an unclassified road between Cherington and Tetbury on December 8. Many of them were at Gloucester Crown Court yesterday, to see Creed, of Hampton Fields, Minchinhampton, admit causing the deaths by driving dangerously.

He also admitted having excess alcohol in his blood at the time of the crash – 140 milligrams per 100mls of blood. The legal limit is 80mgs.

Creed was driving the car in which both Jade, from Minchinhampton, and Paul, of Brimscombe, were passengers when he went off the narrow road and through a wall.

Jade's sister Amber, then 19, was also in the car. She survived the crash. But both Amber and Creed were badly injured.

Jade was studying beauty therapy at Cirencester College at the time of the tragedy, and her death sparked a massive outpouring of grief.

More than 2,300 people joined a Facebook page celebrating her life, and Holy Trinity Church in Minchinhampton was packed for her funeral four days before Christmas.

In February Creed admitted three charges of possessing weaponry without a firearms certificate and was given a nine-month jail sentence suspended for two years.

He claimed one of the guns and the ammunition were left to him by his father when he died in 1998, and that the other gun had been loaned to him.

He was also placed on a 7pm to 6am tagged curfew for four months.

Yesterday Creed, wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, was still on crutches as he went into the dock to enter his pleas to the charges relating to the crash.

Defence barrister Ray Tully said there was no pre-sentence report on Creed and he was not necessarily seeking one, but he wondered whether the court would be assisted by medical and psychiatric reports on him.

"One would be from a psychiatrist who is due to see him on September 17," said Mr Tully. "The other is from the consultant neurosurgeon who has been dealing with the head injury he received himself.

"There is also a third area of medical evidence, relating to his knee injury."

Judge William Hart said he felt that although it was unlikely the medical evidence would make a major difference to the sentence he did think it would make "more than a marginal difference."

"I take the view that all that can be put before the court probably ought to be," said Judge Hart.

Creed was bailed until October 14.
