Toddler spent 22 hours in car cuddled up to the body of pregnant mother after she died suddenly

A toddler spent an entire day alone in a parked car with the body of his pregnant mum after she suddenly died at the wheel. 

Primary school teacher Alina Roberts collapsed in her car as she returned from a trip to a petting zoo with two-year-old son Benjamin in the back seat.

The mother and son then remained in the car for 22 hours until they were found after Mrs Roberts's worried husband, Alex, raised the alarm.

After a desperate search for the missing pair, police officers found the car parked in a residential street in Long Eaton, Derbyshire. Benjamin had wriggled free from his car seat and cuddled up to his mother's body.

The toddler is said to have told his father he was 'cold and hungry' after his eventual rescue.
