Pregnant Blackpool woman killed in Thailand crash.



A Blackpool woman has been killed in a scooter accident in Thailand.

Sophie Emma Rose, 41, originally from Blackpool in Lancashire, died in the crash in Thalang, ****et, on Monday.

Her boyfriend, Danny Glass, 29, from Margate in Kent, was also injured.

He paid tribute to his partner on Facebook, saying: "I am in total shock as I've lost the most precious person I had ever connected with."

He added: "She was also pregnant so I lost my child too."

Ms Rose, who lived in ****et, featured in national newspaper reports last year after saying women should breastfeed until their children are aged eight.

She uploaded videos of her breastfeeding her five-year-old son and her life abroad in her YouTube channel, Sophie's Joy.

Last Thursday, she gave viewers an update on her pregnancy.

The ****et News reported that she was crushed to death under an 18-wheeled truck when the motorbike she was riding pillion on swerved to avoid a parked car.

Mr Glass, who was driving the motorbike, suffered minor injuries and the 30-year-old truck driver later surrendered himself to police, it added.

The Foreign Office said: "We are providing support to a British man who was injured in a road traffic accident in Thalang, Thailand, and are in contact with the local police."
