100ft car plunge mother hopes for better year

A MOTHER who hauled her four children from an upturned car after it fell 100ft into a loch said she hoped 2013 would be a "lot better" .

Jennifer MacMillan's VW Transporter skidded off the A82 alongside Loch Ness, plummeted down an embankment and into the icy waters.

It landed on its roof and the windscreen smashed, sending water flooding in.

But the 34-year-old and her children, aged from 10 to 15, escaped with only minor injuries after she managed to get them all to safety.
