New video shows Shania McNeill’s final night began as harmless skylarking and got progressively more deadly.

Ms McNeill was filmed by a friend as she appeared to play chicken in a car on a north-west Sydney road in the early hours of Sunday morning. Just after 1am the car she was driving collided with two men in an oncoming vehicle on Richmond Rd, Berkshire Park and she died at the scene.

Her two friends, Hazel Wildman and Faeda Hunter, survived and were later captured in a selfie from their hospital beds.

A one-minute social media clip obtained by The Daily Telegraph shows Ms McNeill’s night with the two friends began with dancing and ended in death.

The 21-year-old was filmed dancing in a bathroom before the trio move to a vehicle and drove around singing to loud dance music. She is seen sipping from a large can.

The footage then captured Ms McNeill at the wheel, driving along a highway towards another car. “Oh they’re turning” one of the women says as the oncoming car exits at a roundabout.

At the end of the video, Ms McNeill is shown driving in the wrong lane as oncoming headlights grow brighter. The car swerves back into the left-hand lane before hitting the other car.

Ms McNeill’s former boyfriend Joel Bentley said he always hated the idea of Ms McNeill getting behind the wheel late at night or if she had been drinking.

“I’d tell her ‘I don’t care if you call me at 4am, you call me and I’ll come and pick you up’. I’d rather know the person I love is going to get home safe,” he said.

Mr Bentley slammed the women for their hospital selfie.

“It’s disgraceful, if your friends just died in hospital, who the hell takes a photo?,” he said.

“She had to be cut out of the car … it’s not the time to be taking selfies and posting them all over social media.”

Ms McNeill and Ms Hunter were in the year below Mr Bentley at Richmond High School. After school the two women got jobs at the Pace Farm eggs factory in Minchinbury, where Ms Wildman worked.

Ryan Archer, who said he was a distant associate of the someone in the crash, said he copped backlash for sharing the video on social media. He removed it after the vision was shared extensively.

“I’ll take the hatred for this to be seen for what it is, it is not an accident,” he told The Daily Telegraph.

“If making this public saves even one single life then its worth it, no more lives need to be lost.”
