Bereaved dad shares heartbreak of 'never moving on' after four-year-old daughter died in hit-and-run

A bereaved dad whose four-year-old daughter died in a hit-and-run incident says "you can never move on when you lose a child". Glenn Youens shared his heartbreak that started in March 2017 when little Violet-Grace Youens was killed by Aidan McAteer in St Helens.

McAteer's 80mph speed saw his vehicle strike and kill Violet-Grace. The collision also impacted Violet-Grace's nan, Angela French, who suffered life-changing injuries as a result.

McAteer, who was 23 years old at the time, failed to stop. As reported by the Liverpool ECHO, he ignored Violet-Grace's body and fled the scene in a bid to evade justice.
