New baby helps couple after children died in M4 crash

A grieving couple whose children died in a crash on the M4 said their seven-month old baby has helped them "rebuild".

Gracie-Ann Lucas, four, and Jayden-Lee, three, died after the family car was hit on the hard shoulder of the M4 in February by a van driven by Martin Newman.

Dad Adam, 28, said he was "gobsmacked" when they were told new baby Summer-Gracie's due date was Gracie-Ann's birthday.

He added that Summer-Gracie has been the "key factor" keeping them "sane" after the loss of Gracie-Ann and Jayden-Lee.
