Then I discovered the truth: AUDREY DAUMAIN Audrey Daumain was in the passenger seat of her Audi 4x4 when her mother, who was driving them home, suffered what Audrey now knows was an epileptic fit.
'The action I took seemed like the only viable thing to do in that moment, but still I felt profound guilt,' says Audrey, 47, shaking her head in disbelief at the memory.
As they came within inches of the car in front, Audrey grabbed the wheel and pulled the Audi, which was still going at full pelt, off the road.
Somehow Audrey survived the terrible crash, but tragically her mother, who was 62, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Audrey pleaded with her mother to 'slow down' before realising with sheer horror that she was unable to respond.
