The devastated grandfather of two boys who were killed when they were hit by a suspected drink-driver said the youngsters were his family's 'heart and soul'.

Two-year-old Casper Platt-May and his brother Corey, six, were out on a half-term trip to the park with their mother, Louise, and their aunts and cousins when the tragedy unfolded.

The group were crossing a residential street in Coventry when a hatchback allegedly ploughed into them, smashing a pushchair the younger boy was sitting in to pieces.

The boys' father, Reece Platt-May, their aunt Tia Fletcher and their grandfather Kim May wept as they visited the scene of the crash this morning. 

Describing the horrific incident, Ms Fletcher said: 'We were crossing the road and had checked both ways, there wasn't a car in sight so we step out into the road.

'Next thing was saw was this black car come speeding round the corner and it just didn't stop, never seemed to slow down. All it all happened so quickly, it's just a blur.

'The car hit the two boys. Casper was sat in his mini cooper toy car and it just smashed it to pieces. It was like a war zone.'
