British boxer Amir Khan revealed that two children killed in a Christmas Day car crash on the M6 were on their way to a wedding he was attending in Bolton.

Khan told The Sun:

“My heart goes out to the families of those involved in this terrible accident.

No one could believe it. One minute everyone at the wedding was joyous — the next it had turned into despair.

“To hear that two young children and their aunt had been killed on their way to the wedding was utterly heartbreaking. We were all numb, no one knew what to say.

“It was one of the most harrowing things I’ve ever experienced. I am just so, so sorry.”
