Despite the best efforts of the emergency services, Georgia was sadly pronounced dead at the scene of the crash on Potterhouse Lane.
Paying tribute, her heartbroken family said: “Georgia was a much-loved daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece and friend who will be greatly missed.”
The 18-year-old male driver and two passengers - an 18-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl - were all taken to hospital with serious injuries.
Skid marks on the road, more than 150ft long, show the car was travelling along the road in an easterly direction, the Northern Echo reports.
A large part of a brick wall has been destroyed as a result of the crash.
