Heartbreaking first words of child found in car wreckage after both parents killed

The first words of child left orphaned after a horror crash that killed her two parents were 'Nanny is going to look after us now' when she was discovered by family friends.

The five-year-old girl and her two younger siblings spent two days stranded alongside the wreckage before they were found while their dead parents lay inside. The Mirror reports that the horrific crash happened on a motorway on Christmas Day in Western Australia, 279km east of Perth.

Parents Cindy Braddock, 25, and Jake Day, 28 died when the Land Rover Discovery flipped and crashed on the Corrigin-Kondinin Road, however the wreckage wasn't found until two days later. When the children were eventually found at the site of the crash after 55 hours in 30 degree heat, the five-year-old's first words uttered were "Nanny is going to look after us now".
