A tragic mother whose two young children were killed by a drunk driver has welcomed a surprise new baby into her life. Mum Rhiannon Lucas, 26, believes her baby daughter called Summer-Gracie is a “gift” sent from the heavens by her lost children.
Cuddling her new baby, proud Rhiannon said: “Our new daughter brings a heartbeat to our house again. We call her our rainbow baby because I truly believe she is a gift from my children. She's a ray of sunshine from above. "
Her children Gracie-Ann, four, and brother Jayden-Lee, three, were sat in the back of their family car travelling home from a birthday party in February last year when they were killed. The family had pulled over onto the hard shoulder on the M4 motorway when they were struck by van driver Martin Newman, 41, who who was twice over the drink driving limit and had cocaine in his system after partying the night before. Gracie-Ann died the following day and Jayden the next week from catastrophic injuries in the smash.
