Drink driving mum jailed for killing son, 10 and daughter, 4

A mum who killed two of her children while drink-driving has been jailed for more than four years.

Lilly and Smaller Peter McCann, ages 4 and 10 respectively, were killed when Mary McCann, 35, crashed into a HGV lorry while driving northbound on the M1 near Milton Keynes. The incident happened at around 11.10pm on August 9 last year.

It should have been a day for celebration as Smaller had turned 10 years old on August 9. But tragically both he and his sister died at the scene, between junctions 14 and 15.
