"If I had the power to turn the clock back I would"
A woman who killed a 6-month-old girl in a drink-driving accident has been jailed.
23-year-old Lucy Dyer was drunk when her car crashed into Eva Maria Nichifor's family's car on October 8th.
Dyer has been sentenced to 4 years in prison and a 5-year-ban.
Dyer confessed to drink-driving. She told Swansea Crown Court she was drinking in the Carwyn James pub before driving home around 9 pm. She was marking the anniversary of her father.
The mum downed a drink before leaving the pub, reports confirmed.
She was driving at a speed and failed to break or give way at the crossroads. "She collided with the Vauxhall Vectra, causing it to rotate."
The mother of Eva, Florin Nichifor was seen holding her baby and screaming for help.
Her daughter passed away from a brain stem injury the day after the crash on October 9th.

"I would like to say how truly sorry I am to the family in their tragic loss. I am truly heartbroken and devastated," Dyer shared.
"The guilt will stay forever. If I had the power to turn the clock back I would. I can't imagine all the pain that the family are going through," the mum added.
"I am a caring person and I will never be able to forget this tragedy, as I know the family will also.
She continued, "I am truly very sorry, and I hope that one day through all of the pain, the family will be able to forgive me....may she rest in peace."
Dyer is a mum to a 4-year-old autistic son.
The family of baby Eva has returned home to Romania.
"We came to this country to ensure a better life for my family and it ended up tearing it apart," Eva's parents stated.
