The mother of a 17-year-old boy who drowned after a horror car crash has told how his pyjama trousers have been at the end of her bed ever since.

Harvey Owen died alongside his three friends when their car swerved into a ditch on November 19 last year. The kind-hearted 17-year-old virtually lived in his pyjamas at home - where he spent time playing the guitar with his little sisters and listening to the Beatles.

Mum Crystal's life fell apart when the car carrying the four pals veered into a water-filled ditch in rural North Wales during a camping trip.All four youngsters drowned, according to an inquiry last month, the Mirror reports However, it also turned out that Harvey, who was seated in the rear of the silver Ford Fiesta, had unplugged his seat belt and wound down his window—a detail that would always haunt Crystal.She added: “It was my absolute fear throughout all this – I hoped he wasn’t conscious, but he was.

I wonder, with every part of me, what he was thinking at the end – was he scared? Was he in pain?“Did he think of me, his mum, as children often do when they’re in trouble or hurt?
