Mother's heart 'splintered into a million pieces' when daughter died following Christmas Day crash
Lillie Clack, 22, from Morden in south London, was injured after the vehicle she was in smashed into a tree in the early hours of Christmas Day 2021. She died a few days later.
The kitchen designer was among six people who had squeezed into a Mercedes following a night out.
At the wheel was drink-driver Charlie Hilton, 25, who was chased by police and reached speeds of more than 100mph before the car struck the tree, flipped over and burst into flames.
During an inquest into Ms Clack's death, her mother, Debbie Clack, told South London Coroner's Court on Friday: "Lillie is always on my mind. Did Lillie suffer? I know that she would have been scared and wanted her mummy.
"My heart splintered into a million pieces and Lillie is the only medication that can fix it."
Ms Clack's brother Michael also gave a statement - read out on his behalf - saying his sister's death had a "massive impact upon my family and everyone around".
He added: "I will never forgive Charlie Hilton for what he did to Lillie as he has ruined my life and the life of my family."
Ms Clack had gone to a pub in Morden with her friends before they accepted a lift home from Hilton.
In February 2023, Hilton was jailed for 10 years and six months after pleading guilty to causing Ms Clack's death by dangerous driving, three counts of causing serious injury, failing to stop when directed and driving above the alcohol limit.
He was also disqualified from driving for five years after his release from prison.
The inquest heard Hilton had been told by his passengers that a police vehicle had turned its blue lights on behind them and was indicating for him to stop.
Instead, he sped up and was driving so fast that the passengers bumped their heads on the roof of the car as they were chased by police.
Boyfriend asked 'where's Lillie?' after crash
Among those in the car were Ms Clack's boyfriend Jack Watson, who sat in the backseat, and her best friend Delia Casey, who was in the front.
Mr Watson told the inquest: "I think I might have said 'Charlie what are you doing, why are you going so fast'. I think the girls were in shock."

He recalled Hilton telling him to shut up.
Mr Watson said he does not remember the crash but does recall being pulled out on a stretcher and bleeding from his lip.
He added: "I remember asking 'where's Lillie?'. I remember being in an ambulance and blood on my jacket but I do not know where the blood came from.
"My clothing was cut off from me - and I knew then that it was bad."

After Diddy's conviction, here's where his business ventures stand
LOS ANGELES — Sean 'Diddy' Combs has been acquitted of the most serious charges in his federal sex trafficking trial, but that doesn't mean the once-celebrated music mogul will see his business empire restored. Combs, 55, who is one of the most influential figures in hip-hop history, was acquitted Wednesday of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges but convicted on prostitution offenses. Prosecutors painted a dark portrait of the mogul, with witnesses taking the stand to allege a pattern of violence and detail drug-fueled sex parties he reportedly called 'freak-offs' or 'hotel nights.' Combs was convicted of flying people around the country, including his girlfriends and paid male sex workers, to engage in sexual encounters, a felony violation of the federal Mann Act. He will remain in custody while he awaits sentencing. Here's a closer look at how Combs' business portfolio and public image have crumbled under the weight of the allegations. Before Combs was arrested and charged, his major business ventures had collapsed: He stepped down and later fully divested from Revolt TV, which was founded in 2013. The network offered a mix of programming focused on hip-hop culture, R&B music, social justice and documentaries. He also reportedly lost a Hulu reality series deal and saw his once-iconic fashion brand Sean John vanish from Macy's shelves. After surveillance footage surfaced last year showing Combs physically assaulting singer Cassie, his then-girlfriend, in 2016, consequences mounted: New York City revoked his ceremonial key, Peloton pulled his music, Howard University rescinded his honorary degree and his charter school in Harlem cut ties. Last year, Combs settled a legal dispute with Diageo, withdrawing a lawsuit filed as part of a settlement with the London-based spirits giant, making the company the sole owner of Ciroc and DeLeon. While many of his ventures have unraveled, his music catalog — for now — remains intact. Bad Boy Records may be synonymous with 1990s icons like The Notorious B.I.G., Faith Evans, Ma$e, and 112, but Combs kept the label relevant before his arrest with high-profile releases. In 2023, Combs dropped ' The Love Album: Off the Grid,' which was his first solo studio album in nearly two decades, and Janelle Monáe released her critically acclaimed project ' The Age of Pleasure ' through Bad Boy. Both albums earned Grammy nominations, with Monáe's effort recognized in the prestigious record of the year category. Ahead of the 'The Love Album' release, Combs made headlines by returning Bad Boy publishing rights to several former artists and songwriters, years after he was criticized for how he handled their contracts. Bad Boy Records remains operational, but the label has been significantly shaken by Combs' legal firestorm and it hasn't announced any major upcoming releases. Last week, a surprise EP called 'Never Stop' released by his son, King Combs, and Ye (formerly Kanye West), showed support for the embattled mogul. The project was released through Goodfellas Entertainment. Bad Boy Records remained active through 2022, backing Machine Gun Kelly's 'Mainstream Sellout' under the Bad Boy umbrella. He was a producer on MTV's reality television series 'Making the Band,' and 'Making His Band,' launching the careers of artists like the girl group Danity Kane and male R&B group Day 26. Combs has been sued by multiple people who claim to have been victims of physical or sexual abuse. He has already paid $20 million to settle with one accuser, his former girlfriend Cassie. Most of those lawsuits, though, are still pending. It isn't clear how many, if any, will be successful, or how much it will cost Combs to defend himself in court. Combs and his lawyers have denied all the misconduct allegations and dismissed his accusers as out for a big payday. Federal prosecutors had informed the court that if Combs is convicted, they would seek to have him forfeit any assets, including property, 'used to commit or facilitate' his crimes. It was not immediately clear following the verdict how prosecutors would proceed or whether asset forfeiture would be part of a sentence imposed by the judge. Despite the legal turmoil surrounding Combs, his music catalog remains widely available on major streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music. None of the streamers have publicly addressed whether they plan to adjust how his music is featured. Interestingly, Combs' music saw a roughly 20% boost in U.S. streaming between April and May 2025, his biggest monthly spike this year, according to Luminate. The numbers jump coincided with key moments in the trial, including testimonies from Cassie and Kid Cudi. However, there was a slight drop-off with a 5 to 10% decrease in June compared to the previous month's streams. Streaming makes up a fraction of an artist's revenue and is calculated through a complicated process called 'streamshare.' Most artists see very little pay from digital services. Sean John, founded in 1998, has gone largely dormant, with its presence disappearing from major retailers like Macy's. There are no clear signs of a relaunch on the horizon. In 2023, Combs launched Empower Global, an online marketplace designed to uplift Black-owned businesses and strengthen the Black dollar. He positioned the platform as a modern-day 'Black Wall Street,' backing it with a reported $20 million of his own investment. The platform debuted with 70 brands and planned to expand by onboarding new Black-owned businesses each month, aiming to feature more than 200 by year's end. However, as 2023 came to a close, several brands cut ties with Empower Global. It was reported that some cited disappointing performance and growing concerns over the misconduct allegations surrounding Combs.
