Scott Turner 15, killed on the motorway after wedding argument with father who told him 'you've drunk enough' - 28th Apr 2011

A boy of 15 was killed after wandering into motorway traffic following a minor row with his father, an inquest heard today.

Scott Turner was hit by a number of vehicles, including an unmarked police car, on the M23 at Crawley, West Sussex, at about 1.50am on July 18 last year.

The teenager, from Burgess Hill, West Sussex, had been drinking pints earlier in the evening at the wedding reception of a cousin.

His father, Andrew Turner, said he received a reaction typical of many teenagers when he warned Scott about his drinking but added that his son did not appear out of control.

Mr Turner, a builder, told the inquest at Horsham Magistrates' Court: 'He didn't appear drunk to be honest, but he was merry.
