A little 3 years old boy died after his learner driver mum ran him over as she parked her car

3 year old Liam Turner was playing with his six year old sister on the passenger side of the car when inexperienced mum Lyndsay Turner, 34, got behind the wheel. She was trying to reverse the car into a parking bay, but she lost control and the vehicle shot forward and hit Liam.

Lyndsay who had no driving license was being guided by husband Stephen, 37, but as at that time could not prevent the accident. When Liam was hit, he was caught under the vehicle, and suffered a fatal head injury when the wheel rolled over his head. He was then airlifted to hospital but was pronounced dead a few hours later.

Neighbour Amy Jones saw the accident happen, and said she heard a terrible crunching noise when Liam was hit. She said: "Liam was bleeding really badly. Stephen picked him and took him in the car and took him to hospital quickly." Norwich Coroners Court heard that tiny Liam was so short that neither of his parents could see him right next to their car.

The court also heard that Stephen and Lyndsay dashed to hospital in the car, and flagged down an ambulance they happened to pass on the way. Paramedics inside tried to treat Liam, and called in an air ambulance to airlift him to Norwich and Norfolk Hospital but poor Liam didn't survive.

The car was inspected after the accident. The inspector said the car had no problems with it, and that driving conditions on the day were fine.

Recording a verdict of accidental death, assistant coroner Nicholas Holroyd said: "Mrs Turner had extremely limited driving experience and had not driven that car before. She was not aware where Liam was and as she drove into the car parking space, and he was run over by that car causing instant lack of consciousness which he did not survive.

This was an appalling tragedy and you both have my profound sympathy for ".Prosecutors considered launching a criminal case against Lyndsay, but decided there was no public interest in dragging her through the courts. Source: The Sun UK

Pope John Paul II Had Intense Friendship With A Married Woman – BBC Reveals

Pope John Paul IIhad a close relationship with a married woman which lasted over 30 years, according to letters which feature in a documentary being shown by the BBC on Monday.

While the documentary does not claim he broke his vow of celibacy with Polish-born philosopher and writerAnna-Teresa Tymieniecka, the tone of some of his letters to her points to intense feelings between them, the broadcaster says. The two spent camping and skiing holidays together and went on country walks. In one letter from September 1976, he calls her a “gift from God”. “My dear Teresa,” he writes. “You write about being torn apart, but I could find no answer to these words.”

Also in September 1976, he writes: “Already last year I was looking for an answer to these words, ‘I belong to you’, and finally, before leaving Poland, I found a way — a scapular.” A scapular is a piece of cloth worn as part of the habit of monastic orders and the then Cardinal Karol Wojtyla gave Tymieniecka his. “The dimension in which I accept and feel you everywhere in all kinds of situations, when you are close, and when you are far away,” he adds.

Edward Stourton,the seniorBBC journalistwho made the documentary, said more than 350 letters were found at the National Library of Poland, the first dated in 1973 and the last a few months before his death in 2005.

“I would say there were more than friends but less than lovers,” he said. “One of the fascinating stories that comes out of these letters is of a struggle to contain what was certainly a very intense relationship which mixed emotions and philosophical ideas in proper Christian boundaries.”

The BBC has only seen John Paul II’s letters, not Tymieniecka’s side of the correspondence. She died in 2014. John Paul II was pope from 1978 to 2005 and was made a saint by the Catholic Church after his death.
