A devastating and heartbreaking video may be enough to stop you from ever reaching for your phone when driving again.
The family of a mum and her three children have consented for the video to be shared because they want to stop other people from going through what they have endured.
The footage, previously featured on Wales Online in 2017, shows the moment a lorry driver smashes into a row of parked cars while he peers down at his phone while on the motorway.
Kent Live reported that the family who lost their lives were on their way back from holiday.
Tomasz Kroker had been changing the music on his phone when he ploughed into stationary traffic in 2015, killing Tracy Houghton, 45, and her sons Ethan, 13, and Joshua, 11, as well as her partner's daughter, Aimee Goldsmith, 11.
Surrey Police released the distressing footage in a bid to stop drivers using their phones at the wheel, reports Get Surrey.
Father of Josh and Ethan, Doug, said the two boys had been planning on playing Pokemon Go in Hyde Park upon their return.
He said: "I thought that was the worst day of my life, my kids being killed. But I think it was three weeks later when I went to the funeral director's and actually saw them, dead, cold, in their coffins."
Aimee's dad, Mark, said the children "couldn't wait to get home" to play Pokemon and said they hugged and kissed before getting into the car.
In the video clip, Aimee's mum, Kate, recalled in tears how the police had knocked on her door and told her that her daughter had been killed in a car accident. She said her daughter had wanted to be a vet.
"I continue to see drivers using their phones and it sickens me," she said.
"If they had seen the devastation they brought my family, or to other families, by using phones, illegally... distracting themselves from driving a potential weapon...
"Would they be as sickened as we are?"
Kroker, 30, from Andover, Hampshire, was jailed for 10 years at Reading Crown Court after pleading guilty to four counts of death by dangerous driving and a single count of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
After his conviction, former Gloucestershire police chief constable Suzette Davenport said it was up to the public to make it socially unacceptable to use your mobile at the wheel.
Nationally, the number of mobile users who text, make calls and check social media accounts has risen and "distracted driving" is expected to be the biggest single cause of death and injuries on the roads.
