HUNDREDS of mourners attended the funeral of a teenager killed in a car crash.

Danny Atkinson, 17, was buried in Almondbury Cemetery after the funeral early yesterday afternoon at St Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Aspley.

His family asked his friends to attend in the clothes they would normally wear.

Another passenger, 17-year-old Jade Rice, of Bradley, also died in the crash.

The driver, a 22-year-old Shipley man, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and is now on police bail pending further inquiries.
