There are no words that describe the pain that Bec Hills has to live with every day after losing her youngest son Jayke.
While she makes a daily visit to his shrine, she admits there’s no such thing as a good day anymore, “just some that are better than others”.
He was a footy fanatic and a prankster who was devoted to his family, especially his nan.
“Residents on Cleveland Road pulled Dylan out of the car and Jayke got left behind in there,” said Bec.
The car caught on fire after the impact and exploded. Jayke died at the scene while Dylan made it out just in time.
Dylan was speeding at the time of the crash and tested positive to being high on a cocktail of methamphetamine and ecstasy.
He also had a string of prior offences against his name, including drink driving and driving while suspended.
But he was acquitted of the charge of dangerous driving occasioning death, and pleaded guilty instead to a charge of negligent driving occasioning death.
In March this year, Dylan walked free from court with a 12-month intensive correction order, a four-year driving ban, community service and a $250 fine.
