A DRIVER who filmed himself doing 123mph moments before killing an ex-Hollyoaks star in a road smash was branded "indescribably reckless" as he was jailed for 12 years.
Pregnant mum-of-two Frankie JulesHough, 38, suffered fatal brain injuries after Adil Iqbal, 22, slammed into her car on a motorway hard shoulder.
He was driving with one hand, with his phone in the other, as he swerved across lanes in his dad's BMW 140i.
Frankie, who was with her two sons and nephew, was on the hard shoulder of the M66 after a puncture when Iqbal crashed into her Skoda Fabia at 92mph near Bury, Greater Manchester, in May.
She was 17 weeks pregnant with a girl, Neeve, who died with her in hospital two days later. Frankie's elder son, Thomas Spencer, nine, and nephew Tobias Welby, four, suffered serious brain injuries.
Her younger son, two-year-old Rocky, was not seriously hurt.
