Woman dies saving her baby

A WOMAN died while saving the life of her three-month-old son yesterday in a horror day on the roads which also claimed the life of a schoolgirl.

Mother-of-two Andrea McGlynn was crossing the main street in Gorey, Co Wexford, pushing her son in a buggy, when she was trapped beneath the back wheels of a truck. She managed to push her son to safety.

The truck was stopped at a set of traffic lights and it is not clear if the truck rolled back before taking off.
