A woman who caused the death of a young mother-of-two in a road crash has been jailed for nearly seven-and-a-half years.

Emma Louise Morris from Pwllheli died in a four-vehicle crash on the A487 Felinheli bypass in April 2023.

The 28 year-old was driving with her four year-old son when her car was hit by an Audi A3 driven by Jacqueline Mwlia between Y Felinheli and Caernarfon.

She was pronounced dead at the scene and her son was seriously injured - he was discharged from a specialist unit in Stoke after just a few days.

Mwlia (51), from the Mount Pleasant area of Swansea pleaded guilty to causing Ms Morris' death by dangerous driving and two further counts of causing serious injury.

Two people were taken to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor with serious injuries but were also later discharged.

Mwlia, who was also injured in the crash, will serve seven years and four months in prison. She was also banned from driving for nine years and 46 weeks and ordered to take an extended driving test.

Following the hearing in Llandudno on Friday morning, Ms Morris' family hit out at the sentencing, arguing there was "no real justice for Emma".

In a statement, the family said: “It has been a long, torturous and painful journey to finally get to this point today."

"Jaqueline Mwila caused her death by dangerous driving, and although she pleaded guilty to all the charges against her, the sentence she was given does not go nearly far enough for us as a family."

“Our lives have been changed forever, shattered, mutilated by the recklessness and carelessness of this woman who chose to drive so dangerously as to kill our daughter without any regard for other road users that day."

“We will try to move forward without our beautiful Emma. A future her two children have to face without their loving mother. Our pain is constant, our hearts remain broken.”

PC Gareth Rogers from the Serious Collisions Investigation Unit at North Wales Police said: "While Mwila is now behind bars for this offence, nothing is going to bring Emma back, and our thoughts and sympathies remain with her family and friends, who have suffered unimaginable devastation."

"There is no sentence that can ever replace the hole that has been left in their lives, but we hope the passing of this sentence will act as a reminder to all drivers that momentary decisions to lose concentration can have devastating consequences."
