Lorry driver Mark Collins, 51, said what had happened to his wife, Caroline Johnson, had left him and his sons Jason, 13, and David, 17, devastated and in shock.

"No-one can believe what's happened," he said. "Life's there one minute and then all of a sudden it's taken away from you.

"The whole house is empty without Caroline. The dogs are pining for her. Our Jack Russell, Daisy, is waiting for her at the door. I'm not remotely religious but I'm praying.

"The boys are in shock but they are bearing up. They're strong lads."

Mrs Johnson was scraping ice off her windscreen before taking her son to school when a man jumped into her car and drove off, leaving her lying in the road in Langley, Berkshire.

Detective Inspector Steve Armstead said it was likely Mrs Johnson, 46, had been dragged behind the car when it ran her over.

He said: "We think she was dragged along the road a considerable distance, it is believed she was dragged 10 to 20 metres and passed under the vehicle."

Mrs Johnson, who works as a receptionist at a local veterinary surgery, suffered serious internal injuries and injuries to her arms and legs and remains in a critical but stable condition in Wexham Park Hospital.
