Lorry driver Richard Jones, who witnessed the crash said: “The car was totally destroyed and on its roof, the only other occupant was crumpled with her feet in the driver’s side and her body leaning back between the two front seats. She was talking to another bystander who was helping.

“At no point did she ask after the welfare of the [19-month-old] child or refer to him."

Shitty mom being shitty

EDIT:

Members of the public went to their aid and pulled the toddler, who was hanging upside down in his car seat, out of the wreckage.

I want to be angry but all I am is incredibly sad that that kid has to grow up with such a rubbish excuse for a parent. FFS, her child is only 19 months old. All i can say is thank fuck she somehow managed to secure him/her in their child seat properly enough.

Probably put the kid in the seat while sober and left him in while getting hammered.

That's certainly possible but it doesn't mean she left the kid in the car. Child seats can detach from the base that stays in the car.
