Tributes paid to loveable' boy after police mistakenly told family he survived crash

Joshua Johnson, 18, was killed in a crash on Todwick Road in Rotherham on 13 December, alongside a 17-year-old girl. But South Yorkshire Police (SYP) initially identified Trevor Wynn, 17, as the boy who had died and police informed his family. Meanwhile, Mr Johnson was thought to be injured and under sedation in hospital. However, the force admitted it has now referred itself to the policing watchdog after information came to light, which led to further checks taking place.
