A baby girl suffered skull fractures and brain haemorrhages when her drunk dad-of-three crashed his car while she was sitting unsecured on the back seat.
Richard Hefford had drank several beers and a Bacardi and Coke before setting off for the beach in his Vauxhall Corsa with his four-month-old daughter.
Three other females were also in the car on August 7, on what was one of the hottest days of the summer last year.
