Faye Dawson was killed after Terence Unsworth drove his Porche the wrong way down the M6
The mum of a three-year-old girl who lost her life in a 'fireball' motorway crash broke down in tears as she said she wishes she had died too.
READ MORE: 'It's eight weeks till Christmas, my busiest time - but I'm distraught, I just feel desperate'Beth said that when people tell her that she had been lucky to survive she "wish she'd died too" so she wouldn't have to live with the heartbreak of having lost her daughter. PC Rachel Carberry, of Lancashire Constabulary's collision investigation unit, said that when Terence reached the end of the entry slip road he indicated before turning to face oncoming traffic and accelerated for nine seconds until the impact with Beth's car. "It was a clear and obvious turn in the wrong direction," PC Carberry said.
During a post mortem Home Office pathologist Dr Alison Armour found that Terence, who had been fitted with a pacemaker around 10 years ago, had "severe narrowing" of a coronary artery. Dr Armour also found evidence that Terence had suffered an acute myocardial thrombus - bleeding - although she was unable to determine if this had happened before or after the collision.
Following the collision last November Faye's family released a tribute in which they said: "Our beautiful Faye Grace, words will never express the heartache we are all going through since you were tragically taken from us.
