The late-night smash happened on Farrington Rd in North Lake, in Perth’s southern suburbs, in July.

Campo was an aspiring footballer who played for the South Fremantle Football Club’s colts side.

Several other teenagers in the car were seriously injured.

The P-plate driver, who is now 18 but cannot be named because he was 17 at the time of the offence, pleaded guilty to manslaughter and five dangerous driving charges in March.

The judge heard evidence on Monday and Tuesday, and the teen will be sentenced in June.
