Jordyn Callea tells trial of Alexander Campbell – accused over death of Sophia Naismith – her last memory before being hit by a Lamborghini

Jordyn Callea has bravely told a court of the moment an out-of-control Lamborghini ran her and her best friend down – leaving 15-year-old Sophia dead at the scene. Warning: Distressing content.

The last thing a teenage girl saw before she was knocked down and her friend killed was a white car sliding diagonally towards her, a court has heard.

Jordyn Callea, 18, suffered serious injuries on June 22, 2019 when a white Lamborghini with the licence plate “PSYKO” left the road.

Her best friend, Sophia Naismith, was killed in the crash.

Alexander Campbell, who was behind the wheel of the car is standing trial in the District Court charged with causing death and harm by dangerous driving.

On Monday, Ms Callea told Judge Paul Muscat, who is hearing the trial in the absence of a jury, that she and Sophia had been heading to a nearby friend’s house.

The court heard the two girls had been at a nearby McDonald’s planning how to spend their night.

Sophia Naismith, 15, was killed when the Lamborghini crashed into her and Jordyn.

They had decided to go to a friend’s house first and had been walking down Morphett Rd, heading towards Marion.

“I saw a dark-coloured car that zoomed past us, our heads followed the car,” Ms Callea told the court.

“Then a white car came up, our heads turned back to see that.

“I can only describe it as the car seemed to stop diagonally in front of us and rotated.

“Diagonally it came at us, came at an angle, the last thing I can recall is that car coming at us.”

Ms Callea said she woke in the carpark of a Chinese restaurant where she could see Sophia lying on the ground.

Ms Callea suffered a broken left leg, fractured right foot, cuts and bruises and a mild concussion in the crash.

Sophia suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene.

After Ms Callea left the stand a series of witnesses were called to describe Mr Campbell’s driving before the accident.

Kerry Zerillo, who was driving behind Mr Campbell just before the crash, said she saw a white Lamborghini and a dark sedan come to a near halt in the middle of Morphett Road before they both accelerated sharply.

“He lost control straight away, as soon as he took off, he lost control,” she said. “He took off really fast and the car swung into the bushes.”

The witness said she did not realise the car had hit the two girls until the next day.

Nathan Bennett, also driving near the crash, saw a white Lamborghini and another car driving next to each other.

Jordyn Callea, right, posted this photograph of her and Sophia Naismith in a tribute to her best friend days after the pair were hit by the car.

“I could see from Oaklands Road their headlights travelling towards me, it looked like they were interacting with each other and when they passed me their engines started to rev,” he said.

Mr Bennett saw the lights of a car go swinging off the road when he looked in his rearview mirror, but said he thought the car had made a handbrake turn into a nearby street.

Adam Gabriell, in the car driving next to Mr Campbell, denied either car was speeding or that they slowed down and then accelerated.

He said Mr Campbell slowed down behind them and a few seconds later he heard a bang and turned back to discover the accident scene.

Joel Armstrong, a friend of Mr Campbell and former business partner, was driving another car in convoy with the others and said they had all been driving “lawfully and respectfully”.

Five witnesses described seeing Mr Campbell lose control of his car at the intersection of Elizabeth Way and Main North Road several hours before the crash.

The descriptions varied with witness Emma Anderson telling the court the car spun out completely and ended up facing the wrong direction in the intersection.

Other witnesses said Mr Campbell had lost control during the turn and had “fish tailed” across the road before regaining control.

The trial continues.
