A mum who killed her two young sons in a horror crash after choosing to drive with a flat tyre has avoided jail. ‌

Amy Sheppard, 29, crashed after her Vauxhall Astra “fishtailed" on a bend due to the underinflated rear tyre in October 2023. The vehicle then crossed into the wrong carriageway and hit an Audi travelling in the opposite direction. ‌

The Audi driver, his wife and her brother all suffered serious injuries and were rushed to hospital after the crash, with two of them suffering life-threatening injuries.

The Mirror reports that passers-by desperately rushed to help at the scene
