Stranded mum-to-be criticises lack of help

[lark descending]

A heavily pregnant woman and her 13-month-old daughter were stranded for 12 hours when their car became stuck in snow.

Carla Holt claimed she received no support from the police overnight until the A3(M) at Petersfield in Hampshire was cleared enough for vehicles to move again at 6.30am.

I note that the article didn't mention why this woman had to make this journey.

The Met Office,local authorities,police....in fact just about everyone had been issuing warnings for several hours in advance advising people not to travel unless absolutely necessary.

Was her journey absolutely necessary?
If not then she is an idiot.
If not then she put the lives of herself,her unborn baby and young child at risk.

Even if her journey was necessary there were quite literally hundreds of other motorists in the same situation.

The rescue services are working long hours in dreadful conditions......they can't be everywhere.

At least she has got home......while typing this I've heard that there are still people stuck on the A3.
