A student has admitted killing her 16-year-old sister in a car crash in east London.<\/p>\n

Meliha Kaya, 22, smashed into a tree while speeding as she drove her sister Elif and a friend back from a pub in Wanstead on 13 February 2016.<\/p>\n

At the Old Bailey Kaya, of Woodford, east London, admitted causing death and serious injury by dangerous driving.<\/p>\n

A judge told her she could be spared jail due to the "devastating" impact of the crash on her family.<\/p>\n

Jordash Graham, 24, from Leytonstone, who was speeding in a Ford Focus behind Kaya, admitted dangerous driving at the court on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

All the occupants of Kaya's Mini were badly injured when the car crashed into a BMW in Chigwell Road, went over a low wall and hit a tree.<\/p>\n

Front seat passenger Elif, who was the only person wearing a seat belt, was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n

'Never ending impact'<\/h2>\n

Before criminology student Kaya admitted the charge, Judge Wendy Joseph QC told her she would consider suspending her jail sentence if she pleaded guilty.<\/p>\n

"There is no sentence I can impose which could begin to put it right. There is nothing she can do to ever put it right," the judge said.<\/p>\n

Judge Joseph added that the impact on the family "must be devastating and never ending".<\/p>\n

Kaya and Graham will be sentenced on Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
