Mum and pregnant daughter die after crashing into water-filled ditch

A devastated dad has paid tribute to his wife and pregnant daughter who were both killed in a horror car crash over the weekend.

Marion Bunyan, 54, was being driven by her daughter Jennifer, 24, who was expecting her second child, when their silver Nissan Qashqai veered off the road, crashing into a water-filled ditch.

Both women were pronounced dead at the scene following the crash on Sunday at around 11.30am.

Grieving Paul Bunyan has said the family will "miss and love them terribly".

The dad-of-three, from Little Paxton, Cambridgeshire, said: "Marion was my wife of 30 years and a mother of three.

"She worked as a teaching assistant in the special educational needs department of Longsands College, where she was well liked and respected.

"She loved reading, gardening, cookery and travel. She leaves behind myself, her two other children and a grandchild - who love her and miss her terribly."

He added: "My daughter Jennifer worked as a school librarian until becoming a full-time mother to Oliver, now nearly three.

"She leaves behind her fiancé David, her son, and a family who love her and miss her terribly."

Jennifer, who also lived in Little Paxton, just minutes from her parents', had been driving the car southbound along Puddock Road in Ramsey, Cambs, at the time of the crash.

Anyone with information regarding the collision, or any dash cam footage, is urged to contact Cambridgeshire Police on 101, quoting incident 142 of June 7.
