Killed in her car - by a lorry driver who was on his phone.

Jodie Moss from Swindon had broken down on the A34 when it happened.

Why parents of children with mental health problems often

And I will have the weather for the week ahead. A mixed bag but in

improving picture for Mother's Day. A lorry driver who killed a young

woman from Swindon when he crashed into her broken down car on the A34

has been jailed for Jodie Moss was sitting in her Corsa

near the junction for the M4. Dariusz Tokarczyk failed

to see her flashing hazard lights - because he was using his mobile

phone. Jeremy Stern was at

Reading Crown Court. This footage was taken

from the lorry driven by Dariusz Tokarczyk on the A34

near Chieveley in March last year. Ahead is a Vauxhall Corsa

driven by Jodie Moss, She put the hazard lights

on because of engine problems. The lorry didn't slow down

as it neared her car. Reading Crown Court heard

47-year-old Tokarczyk, who is from Yorkshire,

was using a hand-held device, probably a mobile phone,

to change his music. Speaking through a Polish

interpreter, he admitted causing Her family said she died after some

of the happiest months of her life. Jodie was a happy student who loved

nature, was very caring of others. She was taken from us too early

by a selfish ten-second act. The driver had time to act

on seeing her hazards. The devastation caused continues

to be immeasurable and we will never Sentencing Tokarczyk,

the judge said he had taken a cavalier attitude

to using a mobile She said, you did not react

to the stationary vehicle She also described him

as irresponsible, He was sentenced to four and a half

years in prison and he was banned The murder of a woman

from Milton Keynes has featured in the BBC's

Crimewatch programme tonight. Hang Leung died 11 days

after she was attacked at her home during a burglary

at the end of January. A former police officer,

wife and mother. 64-year-old Hang Lin Leung left

Hong Kong in the early '90s and settled here,

in Milton Keynes, where she ran a Chinese takeaway

business with her husband. At around six o'clock on 31st

January, she was home alone When she went to answer it,

the man and five others forced their way into her home,

before stealing cash Mrs Leung was pinned down

while they ransacked the house. Police released this image to show

the extent of the damage. The next day, still traumatised,

Mrs Leung was taken She died from her injuries 11

days after the ordeal. For me, when I think of burglary,

I think of someone stealing material possessions,

money, objects, things But for my family, this burglary has

meant we had a life taken from us. Police are trying to track down

several personal items, including this gold Rolex Oyster

watch and Mrs Leung's long-service Detectives have described this

as a despicable crime on a frail Some of her neighbours have

spoken to me off camera and expressed their shock

and sadness at what happened in Detectives are particularly keen

to speak to anyone who saw six men acting suspiciously in a car

travelling between Milton Keynes and Aylesbury on the evening

of Tuesday 31st January. Also on Crimewatch,

there was new evidence in a murder She was a sex worker

in the Manchester Road area. Tonight's episode featured

a new line of inquiry - a postcard allegedly sent

by Sally Ann shortly Many parents whose children suffer

mental health problems aren't asking for help,

because they feel blamed That's according to psychologists

at Reading University. They say more needs to be done

to remove the stigma felt by parents so more children get

the help they need. When I tried to get to sleep,

I always thought someone Luke's years of extreme anxiety

exhausted and upset his family just When I was worried, I just

thought of bad stuff, I couldn't think of good stuff.

I was fine at school. But just when I had to go to sleep,

I just felt like something was going to happen,

I couldn't get to sleep. Many parents in this situation feel

a sense of hopelessness and guilt but researchers

at Reading University have found it is the fear of being blamed

which stops many seeking help. There is quite a lot

of work surrounding stigma associated with mental health,

but what this work does is really highlight the stigma

specifically for parents. I blamed myself because I had

a child that obviously My job as a parent is to make sure

that my child is happy And for some parents,

that can put them off seeking help and make it harder for them to seek

help and perhaps wait I was so lucky, I had

the family's support, I had my family telling me,

you are not a bad parent, you are great, but if you haven't

got someone there to tell you that, Then you will be in a better place,

and in a better place With help from children

and adolescent mental health services, Luke has now overcome

a lot of his anxiety. But frustratingly, the waiting list

is an extremely long one, two Every major town in Oxfordshire

will be connected by cycle paths if plans costing

?120 million win support. The Oxfordshire Cycling Network has

launched its vision for 366 The group says the interconnecting

paths would rival routes in places Campaigners want the speed limit

on Oxford's Botley Road to be cut They say there have been around 130

accidents in the area The centre of Oxford's been

a 20mph zone since 2009. But start to head out of the city

and you get to Botley Road, a long, straight road that campaigners say

many motorists are They say something needs to be done

about road safety here. There's a lot of accidents

along here, near misses, and everybody reports those

on a daily basis. Since an accident involving

a nine-year-old boy on the road last month, calls are growing

for the speed limit to be reduced. It's a campaign being supported

by the nearby Tumbling Bay cafe. I myself have been a witness

to many, many near misses on various Hundreds have now signed

a petition calling for But there is scepticism from some

motoring groups about whether or not 20mph limits can work in some places

in some circumstances, but if the problem is that people

are already breaking a 30mph speed limit,

there's no reason to start to think If the problem is they drive

through red traffic lights and disobey pedestrian crossings

and things, changing the speed limit is unlikely

to affect that behaviour. Oxfordshire County Council says it's

received the petition and is looking The spring equinox today didn't

feel very springlike. We had leaden skies

and quite a lot of rain. As we look to the weather for

the week ahead, a real mixed bag. We will start to draw in polar air,

so it will feel chilly at times. Spells of rain over

the next couple of days. But the winds that we have

had starting to ease For tonight, a chilly night

under clearing skies. Temperatures dropping

to around 2C for many places. A cold night and a cold start

to tomorrow morning. But given the clear skies,

we are going to see some It won't be long before we see

showers moving in and those showers could cause hail and might be

accompanied by a rumble of thunder. Tomorrow's high, 9C,

but feeling colder in the winds. Through tomorrow evening,

we are going to see some more showers ahead of a more organised

band of rain that will make its way across the region

through the early hours. Under the cloudy skies, temperatures

around between 4C and 6C. So for Wednesday morning,

the remnants of that By the afternoon, skies

are starting to brighten Still a few showers knocking around

but temperatures up at 7C or 8C. Feeling a little bit more

temperate as the winds ease. Then heading to Thursday,

the low pressure out over Northern France is set to bring

a few more rainy outbreaks And that is how things stay

as we head into Friday. Cloudy skies for a time,

some breaks in the cloud, the chance of a shower and at times,

temperatures up to 9C. Looking at the weekend,

things improve. We will see some chilly nights,

plenty of sunshine by day and temperatures nudging up

into double figures again. So for Mother's Day plans,

things are looking good. outlook for Saturday and Sunday is

for something dry and settled, sunny spells but a bit on the cool side.

This week we are starting off with a taste of winter. This is Paul and

maritime air, it has come from a long way north and will push in lots

of showers. The last of any mild air gets swept away with the cloud.

Tonight we have showers mostly across the northern half of the UK,

which will turn wintry and
