Mum saves unborn baby using her fingernails after hit-and-run driver mows her down outside pub

Aaliyah Lunn was with friends when she was run over by a silver Volvo which deliberately ploughed into a crowd of pub goers. The 23-year-old was pinned under the car with the wheels spinning inches from her head while the weight of the front axle pressed down on her six-month baby bump.

Incredibly, despite suffering horrific injuries to her foot, Aaliyah saved her unborn baby by wriggling under the car. Thug driver Jack Richardson, 25, had smashed into the crowd in a targeted attack after shooting a love rival with a BB gun.

The shocking crash happened as revellers gathered to watch England's Euros clash with Scotland on TV at the Gigmill pub in Stourbridge, West Mids., on June 18 last year. Richardson fled the scene but handed himself in two days later and admitted a string of violent offences.
