A North East mum who began campaigning for change after her partner was killed by a drink and drug-fuelled driver is set to meet with the Government.
Carol King, 31, discovered she was having Richard Gray Jordan's second baby after he was killed in a car crash on the A19 near Houghton-le-Spring. The 33-year-old, who was known as Richie, had been travelling in a Mercedes driven by his work colleague Mark Thompson.
Newcastle Crown Court heard how Thompson clocked more than 121mph before ploughing into the back of a Vauxhall Corsa in August 2019. Ritchie, who was a non-league footballer, was sent flying from the vehicle.
