A heartbroken mother has slammed the police after a car crash left her daughter trapped inside the vehicle with the dead bodies of her three friends for two days.
The fatal crash happened in Cardiff, Wales, on Saturday but the victims were not found until two days later.
According to BBC, Refel Jeanne, 24, Eve Smith, 21, and Darcy Ross, 21, tragically died in the crash while Shane Loughlin, 32, and Sophie Russon, 20, spent the next two days inside the vehicle before they were found and rushed to the hospital.
The heartbroken mother of Russon, Anna Certowicz, has now criticized the police for the way the incident was handled, saying that she raised the alarm on Saturday but was only told to stop worrying as they were ‘probably out partying.’
In an interview with Daily Mail, she claimed that police ‘didn’t seem to think it was worth investigating’ so she decided to take matters into her own hands.
Certowicz searched for her daughter and her friends, driving past the area where the car was found three times but couldn’t spot it among the trees.
200 volunteers started searching for the five adults before a dog walker finally spotted the vehicle.
“I feel terrible for the families of Eve and Darcy, they were all best friends and had known each other since they were small,” Certowicz told the Mail.
“It’s too awful to imagine what she went through trapped in the car in the dark until it got light and then dark again over two days. [Russon] was lying there for all that time, they could all have been found much quicker if the police had started searching straight away.”
Loughlin and Russon remain in critical but stable condition in the hospital.
