Pauline Fielding kissed her son for the last time on the day he secured his place at Salford University. Andrew, a 'kind, thoughtful' 18-year-old, picked up his important exam results before travelling to a football match with friends.
He died 'instantly' in a crash on a busy Cheshire road. Retired teacher Pauline, now 77, was given news of the horror smash by her husband in a call after she finished work one day in June 1994.
Her husband questioned whether he'd lost a leg, the Liverpool Echo reports. Tragically, on a day Andrew and his family should have been celebrating, it was 'worse than that'.
