Christina (Chrissy) and Graham were at their bungalow in a little village outside of town. They were preparing for the forthcoming birth of their first child. Nothing was left as “It will do for now”. If they weren’t happy it was ripped out and started again. It had to be perfect.
The work had gone on for months and pride of place was the nursery.
Chrissy was pregnant and all was going well. She was due to give birth full term, in a few weeks time.
She said goodbye to Graham, got in her car and left to travel to her parents home in town. At the same time a man was driving at high speed on a duel carriageway in the opposite direction. He was overtaking cars estimated at up to 90mph, determined that he would get to the end of the duel carriageway before them. Chrissy had just got on to the main road from the village to town when the same car sped around a bend crossed the carriageway and crashed into her.
The impact was so powerful it lifted her car off the road and pushed it through a wall and it landed in some woods.
It was a dark, dank winters evening and she was trapped in her car. The people in the vehicles that had been overtaken tried to help as best they could. When the emergency services arrived she said “I can’t breath”.
They only found out she was pregnant when they cut her free.
She had an emergency Caesarean section but baby Bella was still born.
Chrissy haemorrhaged and bled to death.
Chrissy was 35. Bella was 8 months old.
The man responsible was not charged with Bella’s death.
