Mum pays tribute to her ‘angel’ boys, 7 & 15, killed in car crash alongside their dad & says ‘life will never be same’
THE heartbroken families of four people killed in a horror crash on the M6 caused by a car going the wrong way have paid tribute.
The crash happened on October 15 following reports of a Skoda travelling southbound on the northbound carriageway, which was then involved in a head on collision with a Toyota.
Driver Jaroslaw Rossa, 42, his passenger Jade McEnroe, 33, and his two sons Filip, 15, and Dominic, 7, died when their Toyota collided with the Skoda.
The accident happened just after 4pm near Tebay Services in Cumbria.
The driver of the Skoda – who has not been named – also died in the collision.
In tribute to her sons, Filip and Dominic, their mother Kamila said: “We are heartbroken at the passing of our beloved angels – Filip and Dominic.
“Filip was very intelligent, sensitive and full of love. We will never forget his smile, open arms, and the words “tuli, tuli” (hugs, hugs).
“He was fascinated by computer games but also incredibly good at chess.
“He loved chemistry and dreamed of studying at the University of Glasgow.
“Dominic was always smiling, very resolute and sociable. He was extremely caring, always thinking of others first, and the first to help if someone was in trouble.
“Always surrounded by a group of friends of all ages. He loved dinosaurs and Pokémon, but most of all he loved penguins and dreamed of adopting one.
“Our lives will never be the same again.”
A passenger in the vehicle, Jade McEnroe, aged 33, of Kilmuir Road, Glasgow also died at the scene.
In tribute to their daughter, Jade’s parents said “Our beloved daughter Jade, you are so loved, and we will miss you every day.
You are a very much-loved mummy to Arran.”
Her son, Arran, aged 7, was also in the vehicle and was taken to hospital where he remains with serious injuries.
His father said “I would like to thank everyone for their kind messages, to the emergency services and the members of the public that assisted at the scene”.
All four occupants of the Toyota came from Glasgow. The Skoda driver was from Cambridgeshire.
Other drivers told how they had seen the blue Skoda weaving across all three lanes and the hard shoulder while driving the wrong way.
Matrix warning signs displayed the message “Oncoming vehicle” and told drivers to slow down to 20mph.
The two vehicles erupted in flames when they collided sending a huge plume of black smoke into the sky which could be seen for miles.
A Cumbria Police spokesperson said after the crash: ”Officers were called to the incident at 4.04pm following a report of a Skoda travelling southbound on the northbound carriageway.
“Officers were on route when further calls were received it had been involved in a head on collision with a Toyota.”
