Pregnant mum of two children killed in horror crash to give birth on late daughter's birthday
The mum of two young children who tragically died in a horror car crash is expecting another child - with the due date on her late daughter's birthday.
At a sentencing hearing Newman – who admitted two counts of causing death by dangerous driving, and one of causing serious injury to the children's mother by dangerous driving, and charges of drink-driving and drug-driving – was jailed for nine years and four months. He will serve just over four years in custody. The children's family, from Tredegar , had appealed this sentence, however, it was denied.
Adam, 27, who works in the call centre industry, has said the pregnancy is keeping the pair "sane". He said: "After everything we have been through, this is something to keep us sane and positive and happy to look forward to now. "For my first child and Rhiannon's third, to be due on Gracie's birthday, well it's incredible. It's a special child." Given it's only just over seven months since the children's tragic death, Adam said there were a lot of emotions involved in the pregnancy, especially for mum Rhiannon who is still battling her own injuries.
