Simon Norris (14) died in a crash on the West Coast on Sunday. Photo: SuppliedSimon Norris had never driven a car before the night that he died. Simon's father, Ch'e Norris, told the Herald the car was travelling between 40km-60km when it lost control round a corner, causing the vehicle to roll down a bank. They thought that we were going to blame them for the crash but we said that we didn't. "We just gave them a big hug and told them it's alright because teenagers are teenagers these days."
