North Cork crash couple off critical list in England

The Irish couple who have been in a hospital since their toddler son and unborn daughter were killed in a car crash in England almost a month ago are off the critical list.

A spokesperson for Derriford Hospital in Plymouth confirmed last night that Con and Elber Twomey, from Meelin, north Cork, are now being described by doctors as “stable”.

It is a slight improvement since last week’s condition update, when the couple was described as “critical but stable”. But it is understood that Con, 39, and Elber, 36, suffered life-changing head and brain injuries.
