A brave mum used her final moments to save her daughter’s life by pushing her pram out the way of an oncoming lorry.

Selfless Lauren Heath, 20, was killed at the scene when she was struck by the lorry in Reading, Berks., on Wednesday.

Her daughter Millie, who turns one on Monday, was only saved when quick-thinking Lauren pushed the tot out the way of the lorry’s path just seconds before it hit.

Paramedics raced to the scene in Basingstoke Road but tragically Lauren could not be saved.

Millie, who was Lauren’s first child, suffered only a small cut in the accident.

She was treated at the town’s Royal Berkshire Hospital where she had
stitches but has since been allowed home.

Lauren’s heartbroken family said today: “Our daughter was such an amazing girl and the best mummy to Millie.

“She was her world and we are so proud that at the last time in her life she saved her baby girl.”
