‘By the grace of God, my baby was not killed’

A miracle spared the life of a baby boy whose buggy was blown from his mother’s hands and pinned between a wall and a car in Ballintemple in Cork city.

The infant’s mother yesterday relived “agonising and terrifying moments” as a cannabis-smoking driver was jailed for five years.

The mother produced a photograph of the boy who was only six months old, at the time. She wanted the judge to see the image.
