March 9, 2023FAMILY and friends have paid tribute to a "gorgeous and loved" teenager who died in a horror car crash.
Brandon Cousens, 18, was a passenger as the Vauxhall Corsa veered off a residential road at high speed before ploughing through a garden wall, hitting another car and flying into the air.
As well as Brandon's tragic death, two other teenagers were 'seriously injured' in the horrific crash in the Sholing area of Southampton.
Flowers and cards have been laid at the scene of the crash which occurred in the early hours of Sunday morning.
One note reads: "You made the world a brighter place and will be dearly missed by all who knew you. Your smile and caring nature shone brightly. May the memory of your beautiful personality be celebrated in this challenging time. Forever in our hearts."
Another says: "Rest easy in paradise, Brandon. We all love you so much. I pray for your family's healing. We will never let your name die."
