Haunting last words of Michigan teenager killed in horror 100mph car crash while trying to jump hills - as her best friend, 20, is charged over death

Nevaeh Downs, 18, of Grand Rapids, died in the collision last year while her friend was behind the wheel of her car

A Michigan teenager who tragically died in a road crash after attempting to jump a steep hill had warned her friend to slow down just moments before her death last November.

Nevaeh Downs, 18, from Grand Rapids, lost her life in a collision involving her best friend, Ella Vece, who was driving Downs' car at the time of the accident.

The event data recorder inside the Volkswagen Jetta showed the vehicle was travelling at more than 100mph when it went over the hill

As per an incident report obtained by Target 8, the two teenagers were trying to jump the steepest hill in Plainfield Township.

In January of this year, prosecutors charged Vece, now 20, with reckless driving causing death, a felony offense. However, she pleaded no contest to a moving violation causing death, a one-year misdemeanor, earlier this month, and is set for sentencing in June.

Investigators who went through her cellphone found video Downs, right, had recorded the two, seen here, as they raced toward the hill

The report mentioned that Downs, in her final moments, had been recording Vece's attempt to catch air on the incline and sudden drop.

A deputy who reviewed her phone footage described, "The video is filmed from the passenger seat with the girls yelling and laughing as they appear to go airborne over a smaller hill south of the crash scene. As they continue driving, (Downs) appears to tell (Vece) to ‘slow down a little bit’ before coming to the large hill at the crash scene. The car appears to veer to the right before it sounds like the vehicle runs off the road. The video then ends."

Toxicology tests found no evidence that alcohol or drugs had played an role in the crash except excessive speed, according to the report

Vece told law enforcement that she lost control of the car while trying to avoid an oncoming vehicle near the centerline.

Downs' mother expressed forgiveness towards Vece and did not wish for her to face criminal charges, appearing in court to support her.

The event data recorder from the Volkswagen Jetta indicated the vehicle was traveling at over 100 mph when it approached the hill.

Earlier this month Vece, seen here, pleaded no contest to a moving violation causing death which is a one-year misdemeanor - she will be sentenced in June

Toxicology tests found no signs of alcohol or drugs influencing the crash, indicating excessive speed as the primary factor.

Records reveal that Downs was the sixth fatality in five fatal crashes on the peak since 1966, with four nonfatal hill jumping crashes occurring since 2004.

In an online obituary, Downs was recalled as being 'thoughtful, strong and caring'

Vece's lawyer, Keary Sawyer, argued for dismissing or reducing the case, emphasizing the need for safer hill conditions to prevent such incidents in the future.

In an online tribute, Downs was remembered as thoughtful, strong, and caring, having recently graduated from Northview High School, where she was involved in swimming, dancing, soccer, lacrosse, and mentoring younger students.
