Yes but cars are much more damaging and lethal. I have no doubt that
after this killer has been punished she will once again be allowed to
drive.

Here's an update on this disgusting incident.

'Baby killed in front of mother outside school gates by woman drink-
driver 'trying to avoid having her car towed'...'

"...The woman driver was just ramming the car into the gates over and

time Finlay was in the pram. It was getting more and more crushed
against a pillar...'
