A mum pushing her daughter in a pram was fatally struck on the head from behind by a scrap lorry’s loader crane.

NHS worker Rebecca Ableman, 30, had been visiting a farm shop with her daughter before she was struck on the head by the grab of Kevin Miller’s lorry.

Her father Russell Ableman described Rebecca as a ‘fantastic mother’ after her death in Willingham, Cambridgeshire, in 2022.
