Second child dies in hospital after M4 crash that killed four-year-old
12.02.2022 - 15:51 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A second child has died almost a week after a devastating crash on the M4 that also claimed the life of a four-year-old.
The smash took place on the busy motorway at around 1.45pm on Saturday, February 5, near Tredegar Park in Newport.
Gracie-Ann Wheaton, 4, tragically died in hospital in the early hours of Sunday morning from injuries sustained in the crash.
A second child, who was in the car but cannot be named at this stage for legal reasons, was injured in the crash and rushed to hospital.
But after five days of fighting for their life in hospital, a family member has confirmed the child has also died from their injuries.
Speaking to WalesOnline, a family member of the second child said they “had a very small chance of survival” and the family had known for days how grave the situation was.
“We are all just in shock,” they added. “We can’t believe it. It hasn’t sunk in. We are all heartbroken. But the whole community has been amazing. People are doing so much to help.”
Tributes were paid to four-year-old Gracie-Ann earlier in the week.
A heartbroken family member told PA news agency: “I’m just trying to wrap my head around the fact that she’s gone – it’s hard to believe.
"She was so young. She had a bright future ahead of her. She was such a wonderful child. I’m just lost for words really. How she was returning from a birthday party and all of a sudden she’s gone.”
It’s understood that a third person injured in the crash remains in hospital.
Gwent Police said that the fatal crash, which happened on the westbound stretch of the M4 between junction 28 and junction 29, involved a car and a van.
A man has appeared in court charged with causing death by dangerous driving.
