A Lincolnshire teenager who was driving a car which crashed killing two schoolboys has admitted causing their deaths by dangerous driving.

Daniel James Nowell, 19, pleaded guilty to the charges when he appeared before Lincoln Crown Court on Friday.

Teenagers Michael Leeman and Bernard Hansi were passengers in the car when it left the A46 at Dunholme, near Lincoln, and collided with a tree.

The accident happened on 14 May this year while the boys were heading back to the De Aston School, in Market Rasen, after going out for lunch.

Mr Nowell, of Boundary Lane, South Hykeham, was granted conditional bail until 19 December, when he will be sentenced.
