On the 25th May 2017 I was involved in a RTC caused by another driver. I was 23 weeks and 5 days pregnant and a few hours after, received the devastating news that my sons heart had stopped beating. 3 days later on the 28th May I gave birth to my beautiful son, Flynn. As I had a healthy pregnancy, no complications and everything was on the right track, there was no other explanation as to why his heart had stopped. This has now been confirmed that I had suffered placental abruption as a result of the RTC. As I gave birth to Flynn after the 24 week mark he has a birth certificate and a stillbirth(death) certificate and his cause of death is down as 'road traffic accident' and was signed by medical professionals.

Even though Flynn died because of the RTC, he will never get justice as the law 'causing death' in driving offences does not include babies in the womb. I know I will never get justice for him because this was the law at the time of the crash, but for future pregnant woman and babies this needs to change. Not only is it just wrong in so many ways it adds to the hurt and greiving. Please sign and share this petition.

If Flynn was 1 day old, 1 week old or 1 year old there would be no questions asked and he would be charged with his death. the other driver had admitted responsibility and has since been charged with driving without due care and attention which meant he got off with 6 points and £100 fine.
