Baby killed in front of mother outside school gates by woman drink-driver 'trying to avoid having her car towed'

A mother saw her baby son crushed to death by a suspected drink-driver who mounted the pavement at the gates of a primary school.
Tina Woods, 31, was pushing her 15-month- old son Finlay in his pram when a black Toyota 4x4 careered towards them.
She was hit from behind and collapsed against a pillar, bleeding from a head wound.
When she looked up, she saw the pram wedged between the vehicle and the gates. Horrified witnesses said the 4x4 repeatedly rammed into the gates, each time crushing the pram further.
Eventually it stopped and around 20 parents and neighbours battled to lift the vehicle off the baby outside Selwyn Junior School in Highams Park, East London.
Paramedics arrived within minutes and took the baby to hospital with his mother, but doctors told her his head injuries were so severe that there was nothing more they could do.
Mrs Woods was about to collect her eldest two children Livvy, seven, and Dillon, five, when the tragedy unfolded on Thursday at 3.20pm.
Her own mother Linda and her other son Harvey, four, were with her, but were unhurt.
'Harvey ran a few feet ahead of us so I went after him,' said Mrs Woods. 'The next thing I knew I had been hit from behind and thrown into a pillar.
'I screamed for Harvey and saw he was okay, then I looked round and saw the 4x4 wedged in the school gates.
'The woman driver was just ramming the car into the gates over and over again. We all screamed at her to stop but she ignored us. All the time Finlay was in the pram. It was getting more and more crushed against a pillar.'
fter the crash, police arrested Katie Gutierrez-Perez, the 39-year-old driver of the 4x4, on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, drink-driving and driving while unfit through drink or drugs.
She is understood to have been driving with an outdated tax disc.
The driver, who is a mother of two teenagers, is a divorcee who lives a street away from the Woods family and runs a local cafe.
Mrs Woods and her husband Roger, who live in a £230,000 three-bedroom Victorian terrace house yards from the school, were struggling to come to terms with the loss of their 'ray of sunshine'.
'He was talking a little bit and was already walking a little bit,' said Mrs Woods. We had bought him his first pair of shoes from the market on the morning he died.'
Scores of parents, children, neighbours and friends laid flowers at the school gates in memory of Finlay.
One tribute read: 'Sleep tight little one, I am so sorry we could not help you.' :icon_cry::icon_cry::icon_cry::icon_cry:
Prayers were said for Finlay and his family at the school yesterday as educational psychologists were on hand to provide counselling and support to both children and teachers.
Headmaster Rob Highsted held a special assembly for pupils. Many were in tears as they were told exactly what happened.
Mr Highsted said: 'Many parents and staff acted with great bravery in their attempt to save a young life.'
An inquest into Finlay's death has been opened.
