Frankie Jules-Hough, a vibrant 38-year-old actress, had her life tragically cut short when she was involved in a fatal car accident on the M66. The driver responsible for the crash, Adil Iqbal, had been recklessly driving his BMW and crashed into Frankie's car, killing her and their unborn daughter Neeve.
Her partner, Calvin Buckley, is heartbroken and devastated by the sudden loss of his beloved Frankie and their unborn child. In an interview, he shared the pain and anguish he feels from losing them both in such a senseless and preventable tragedy. Calvin is determined to raise awareness about the dangers of distracted driving, specifically the use of mobile phones while behind the wheel. He recently launched a campaign called "Touch. Screen." as a way to honor Frankie and Neeve's memory and to prevent similar tragedies from happening in the future.
The accident occurred on a fateful day in May, when Frankie had pulled over onto the hard shoulder of the motorway due to a tyre puncture. Adil, who was driving at an estimated speed of 92mph, swerved to avoid a motorbike and ended up crashing into Frankie's car. The impact was so severe that it caused her Skoda Fabia to spin around and collide with a crash barrier. Tragically, Frankie and Neeve were both killed instantly.
Calvin is still coming to terms with the loss of his partner and the future they had planned together. He describes the devastating impact this tragedy has had on his life and how he is now trying to rebuild and find some positivity through supporting the "Touch. Screen." campaign and the vision zero strategy. He hopes that by sharing his story, he can prevent other families from experiencing the same heartbreak and loss that he has endured.
Frankie was 17 weeks pregnant with their first daughter, and her two other sons, Thomas and Rocky, were also in the car at the time of the crash. Thomas, who was on the phone with his father when the accident happened, and his cousin Tobias, who was also in the car, were both left in comas with serious brain injuries. They spent weeks in intensive care, and their long-term outcomes are still uncertain. The whole family was deeply affected by the tragedy, and their lives will never be the same again.
Adil Iqbal pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving and two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison for his reckless actions that caused the loss of two innocent lives and left two children with life-altering injuries. The court heard how the crash has had a profound and lasting impact on everyone involved, and the pain and grief will never truly go away.
The world lost a talented and vibrant actress in Frankie Jules-Hough, and her loved ones are still struggling to come to terms with the tragedy. Calvin's efforts to raise awareness about the dangers of distracted driving and to honor Frankie's memory are a testament to the love and bond they shared. Their story is a heartbreaking reminder of the devastating consequences of reckless and irresponsible behavior behind the wheel.
