The inquest into the death of an Irish toddler in an horrific car crash in England which claimed the life of his unborn sister and left their parents fighting for their lives is due to open on Monday.

Plymouth coroner Ian Arrow will hear details of the cause of death of 16-month-old Oisín Twomey, who died along with his unborn sister, Elber Marie, after a car driven by Marek Wojiechowski, 26, ploughed into their family car while they were on holidays in Torquay on Jul 6.

Their parents, Connie and Elber Twomey, remain in a critical condition in Derriford Hospital in Plymouth.
