UK investigators to brief family of crash couple

The family of a Cork couple who lost a child and an unborn baby in last Friday’s crash in England will today be briefed by independent investigators looking at the police’s actions in the run-up to the crash.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said it would brief family members on its role before releasing a statement on what form its own investigation will take into the deaths of Con and Elber Twomey’s son Oisin, 2, and unborn baby, whom relatives said the couple had already named Elber Marie.

Mr and Mrs Twomey are seriously ill in a Plymouth hospital after the horrific collision in Torquay.
