By early afternoon she remembers the sheer horror of hearing Speakman on the phone in tears saying "it's Albie, it's Albie".
Albie Speakman died when he was struck by a telehandler operated by his father Neil Speakman in Bury, Greater Manchester, on July 16, 2022.
Reliving July 16, 2022, Leah told how she had dropped Albie off at his dad's, who looked after him on alternate weekends, at around 9am.
In a statement Leah wrote to be read in court, she said paid tribute to Albie and reflected on the life-changing loss.
But, the dad admitted breaching the Health and Safety at Work Act, having "[failed] to ensure the health and safety of Albie, so far as is reasonably practical".
