“It’s like the worst nightmare – as a daughter, as a parent to have to go through”, Neville-Lake said of the crash.
“I’m not going to tell you what he said to me”.
His 9-year-old grandson, Daniel Neville-Lake, a Cub Scout who adored Star Wars and Lego and wasn’t scared to be the only boy in his ballet class, was transported with grave injuries to hospital, where he died Sunday evening.
The children were aged nine, five and two. Police said they were in stable condition Monday and were expected to survive. “My condolences xo”, said another. Constable Andy Pattenden explained that “one of the men succumbed to his injuries at the scene. He destroyed my brother”, said Neville-Lake.
The doctors placed the two beds beside one another, moved the children close and placed their hands together as their parents lay down beside them.
Three children, all under the ages of 10 were also removed from the vehicle with life-threatening injuries.
