UK: Depressed woman kills toddler with 4x4 during failed suicide attempt

Story here. Excerpt:

'Katie Gutierrez-Perez, 40, ran over Finlay Woods in her two ton Toyota Hilux as his mother Tina Woods pushed him along the pavement near a primary school in Chingford, Essex, in September.

Finlay was dragged under the wheels while his mother was smashed against a pillar and left with a head wound. The toddler was taken to nearby Whipps Cross Hospital but died.

Appearing at Snaresbrook Crown Court in London on Wednesday via video-link, Gutierrez-Perez sobbed as she admitted causing death by dangerous driving and driving without insurance.

Sue Rodham, defending, said: "There was quite clearly a failed suicide attempt and a history of depression."

Gutierrez-Perez owned a struggling café which had been closed by bailiffs days before the crash.'
