Mum, 35, admits to causing deadly crash that killed her two kids, 4 and 10, on motorway

A MUM has admitted killing her two children in a deadly motorway crash.

Mary McCann has pleaded guilty to two counts of causing death by dangerous driving after her white Vauxhall Astra collided with a lorry near Milton Keynes.



The 35-year-old was accused of killing her son Smaller on his 10th birthday and her four-year-old daughter Lilly.

She crashed her Vauxhall Astra car with two children aged four years and 10 years in the back, into a Scania HGV.

Judge Francis Sheridan, sitting at Aylesbury Crown Court, today pitied the police who had rushed to the tragic scene, saying: "Who would want to be a member of the roads policing unit having to attend scenes like this.

However she went on the run for nearly a week after dodging a court hearing after she was charged.

McCann, who was wearing a bright pink tee-shirt and a large necklace, watched as her defence barrister, Laban Leake, asked Judge Sheridan to delay her sentencing so that a psychiatric report could be prepared about her.

The driver of the HGV was uninjured in the crash which closed the busy motorway for 12 hours.

The tragedy struck just hours after Smaller had celebrated his 10th birthday with his family and they were returning home to Derby.

No details of the incident were read to the court today/yesterday (Wed) and McCann, who was remanded in custody, will be sentenced in April.
