Kathleen Kirby was killed in a horror crash in Wigan
As Rachel Bartram was sent a Facebook post about an air ambulance being called to an incident close to her home, she knew something serious had happened. But at that time, she didn’t know just how close to home the incident would prove to be.
“I was screaming, in shock and being sick,” she said. “I was in a state of shock and confusion, frantically trying to find out what had happened.” Her mother was the matriarch of the family, a 66-year-old who she described as being ‘a mum, a nan and a best friend rolled into one’. Kathleen had recently retired and was looking forward to a long and happy life with Cliff, her partner of 22 years.“She was like a rainbow, she was a butterfly.” Rachel bravely addressed her mother’s killer during a highly emotional sentencing hearing at Bolton Crown Court.
Cliff and a police officer desperately tried to save her, before an off duty nurse stepped in to help. By the time paramedics arrived, the nurse’s hands were covered in blood.In that split second, Kathleen’s life was ended and dozens of others were irrecoverably changed. “I know I will never be the same person without Kath,” Cliff said in a statement read on his behalf in court.
“I am broken, broken beyond repair. All this, for what? Can you tell me, because I will never understand.”
