*UPDATE*
A judge has issued an arrest warrant for a woman accused of killing two of her children in a crash on the M1.
Mary McCann, 35, of Bamford Avenue, Derby, failed to appear at Aylesbury Crown Court to answer two charges of causing death by dangerous driving.
Her 10-year-old son Smaller and four-year-old daughter Lilly died after a collision with an HGV near Milton Keynes on 9 August.
Judge Francis Sheridan said he wanted ports and airports on alert for her.
“It is most likely she will flee to Ireland,” he said.
“This is a sad case, but absconding to avoid the indictment being put is, in my view, tactical.”
