The teen was travelling fast enough that after hitting the car, he somersaulted over the top of the vehicle and landed headfirst into the windscreen of a second parked car.

The 18-year-old was flown to hospital in a critical condition with suspected head injuries and tragically died on Wednesday morning.

Tributes for Phoenix are flowing on social media, with one of his friends remembering him as a “blessing”.

“I love you brother this doesn’t feel real at all.”
