Thankfully, both she and her baby, Noah, who is now two-years-old, were uninjured.But Becky said the mental trauma of the collision clung onto her and left her fearing to travel the route again.

Becky, who lives in Johnstone, told Glasgow Live: "I got out of the car and somebody had stopped. I kept saying 'I don’t know what happened' then I completely shut down."It triggered a week-long bad spell where I couldn’t focus on anything, I couldn’t see anything good.
