Teenager Harry Silcock has pleaded guilty to a late fatal hit and run in Christchurch last month.
Silcock, 18, was driving a car which struck pedestrian Sean Hutt, 20, and Kyle Thomson, 17, in Shands Rd, Hornby, about 10.20pm on Saturday, September 15.
Silcock was overtaking another car when he hit the pair.
Mr Hutt died at the scene and Mr Thomson suffered a broken leg.
Silcock yesterday pleaded guilty to driving dangerously causing death, failing to stop and check an accident (injury), and driving dangerously causing injury.
Wearing a suit, he was flanked by his father and mother in court.
Silcock said nothing when he entered the dock as his lawyer James Rapley, entered the guilty pleas.
Silcock was bailed and will appear again on December 7 for sentence.
