A MAN who suffered brain injuries in a road crash which killed three teenage girls in Waterloo has been ordered to a mental hospital by a court.

James Houston has been blamed for his part in the death crash after he had been racing with another car.

Now he has been sent to St Luke's Hospital for assessment before a court decides his fate.

Houston, 27, of Hillhouse, was racing at speeds up to 60mph when his car crashed, killing three passengers – Gemma Cost, 15, Ursula Alokolaro, 16, and Natalie Donlan, also 16,

The driver of the second car – Adam Anguige – was jailed for 10 years earlier this year after he was found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving.
