A dad died after the mother of his baby lost control and crashed the car they were travelling in after they had been to Center Parcs. Demi-Elise Michaud, 25, was driving her father’s Kia Ceed when she collided with a bridge on the A590 between Backbarrow and Haverthwaite.
The collision was so forceful that the car ripped in two, Preston Crown Court heard. Matthew Brown, 22, described as 'a loving father and stepfather' to Michaud's two children, was thrown from the vehicle and died instantly, Lancs Live reports.
Michaud, of Blawith, Ulverston, pleaded guilty to causing his death by dangerous driving and appeared at Preston Crown Court to be sentenced. Paul Cummings, prosecuting, told the court on November 27, 2019 the couple were enjoying a family holiday with their two children and Michaud's parents at Centre Parcs near Penrith. However the couple left the park to go and buy drugs, he said.
